This review provides guidance on differentiating normal postoperative changes from complications on MDCT angiography following open thoracic aortic surgery.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this article is to review open thoracic aortic surgical techniques and to describe the range of postoperative findings on CT angiography (CTA). CONCLUSION: An understanding of surgical thoracic aortic procedures will allow appropriate differentiation of normal from abnormal CTA findings on postoperative imaging.
