[Clinical usefulness of intraoperative color Doppler sonography in the operation of the dissecting aortic aneurysm]. 1989

R Yozu, and K Kawada, and T Inoue

Dissecting aneurysm of the aorta is a serious disease with a complex and wide range of morphology. Preoperative examinations such as echo, CT, and angiography, etc, have the limits in their respective capabilities and it is not always easy to say that the morphology is sufficiently elucidated. We have investigated clinical usefulness of this method in DAA under operation. In 10 cases of DAA, We were able to easily see the stereoscopic general image of the aorta including the bloodstream by the use of Doppler's tomography. During the operation of DAA, Doppler's tomography was very useful in determining detailed surgical procedure as well as in judging effects of the operation. In conclusion, intraoperative color doppler sonography is a valuable new tool to provide information which may significantly improve the surgical result in aortic dissection.

D017545	Aortic Aneurysm, Thoracic	An abnormal balloon- or sac-like dilatation in the wall of the THORACIC AORTA. This proximal descending portion of aorta gives rise to the visceral and the parietal branches above the aortic hiatus at the diaphragm.

D018615	Ultrasonography, Doppler, Color	Ultrasonography applying the Doppler effect, with the superposition of flow information as colors on a gray scale in a real-time image. This type of ultrasonography is well-suited to identifying the location of high-velocity flow (such as in a stenosis) or of mapping the extent of flow in a certain region.
