Ultrasound modalities serve as portable, rapid, and cost-effective complementary tools to CTA and MRI for the diagnosis, dynamic observation, and follow-up of aortic dissection.
Various ultrasound modalities provide valuable complementary morphological and hemodynamic information to CT angiography in the comprehensive management of aortic dissection.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support bedside ultrasound where CTA/MRI access is limited; leaves open prospective validation before broader adoption.
Aortic dissection is an acute large vessel disease characterized by sudden onset, rapid disease progression and high mortality. Color doppler ultrasound analyzed the morphological and hemodynamic status of aortic branches before and after aortic dissection surgery, including carotid, subclavian, renal, celiac, superior mesenteric and iliac arteries. Transthoracic echocardiography, vascular ultrasound, transesophageal echocardiography, intravascular ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography are complementary to aortic multi-slice spiral computed tomography angiography for diagnosis, treatment and prognostic evaluation.

Liu et al. (2018) conducted a review in Aortic dissection. Ultrasound (TTE, TEE, IVUS, CEUS) vs. Aortic CTA and MRI was evaluated. Ultrasound modalities serve as portable, rapid, and cost-effective complementary tools to CTA and MRI for the diagnosis, dynamic observation, and follow-up of aortic dissection.
