Functional chiral asymmetry in descending thoracic aorta.
To determine whether rotational blood flow or chiral asymmetry exists in the human descending thoracic aorta, we established the ability of color Doppler ultrasound to detect rotational flow in a tornado tube model of a vortex descending fluid column. In a model of the human aortic arch with a pulse duplicator, color Doppler was then used to demonstrate that rotational flow occurs first in the ...

متن کاملMycotic aneurysm of descending thoracic aorta
Mycotic aneurysm has become rare since the introduction of penicillin. However, clinicians should be aware and consider the possibility as delayed treatment can lead to poor outcomes. We report the case of a 23-year-old Malay lady with congenital scoliosis presenting with back pain and fever. Computer tomography scan showed a large pseudo-aneurysm of descending thoracic aorta and a smaller pseu...
متن کاملTuberculous pseudoaneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta.

Most of these aneurysms have been of the pseudoaneurysm type. We report the case of a 37-year-old woman with tuberculous pseudoaneurym of the descending aorta that was initially mistaken for a lung lesion an...
متن کاملCT of double descending thoracic aorta in an adult female.
Persistent double dorsal aorta is a rare congenital anomaly of the descending aorta. It is an anomaly with two variants. The first type is characterized by complete separation of two dorsal aortae. The second type is a double-lumen descending aorta with a central dividing septum from the level just below the ductal ligament to the aortic bifurcation. We present a completely separated double dor...
