Key result
TEE reveals atypical systolic inward flap movement from the Venturi effect in thoracic aortic dissection.
Why the study?
Aortic dissection is characterized by typical intimal flap movement, but atypical flap motion during thoracic aortic dissection is rarely reported.

Recognize Venturi-induced inward flap motion on TEE to avoid misinterpreting aortic dissection; case report leaves open generalizability and management implications.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights an atypical inward systolic movement of the intimal flap in aortic dissection due to the Venturi effect, detectable by transoesophageal echocardiography.
Hartmann et al. (1997) conducted a case report in Thoracic aortic dissection (n=1). Transoesophageal echocardiography was evaluated on Atypical movement of the intimal flap. Transoesophageal echocardiography demonstrated an atypical inward movement of the dissection flap during systole due to the Venturi effect in a patient with thoracic aortic dissection.
