Backlund et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Ascending Thoracic Aortic Dissection (n=1). Emergency echocardiography with suprasternal notch view vs. Standard emergency transthoracic echocardiography was evaluated on Detection of aortic dissection. The addition of the suprasternal notch view to standard emergency transthoracic echocardiography allowed for the rapid detection of an ascending aortic dissection in a hypotensive 51-year-old man.
