Aortogram showing aortic rupture with pseudoaneurysm
Aortogram showing aortic rupture with pseudoaneurysm
The aortogram, obtained following administration of contrast material into the aortic root, demonstrates a focal pseudoaneurysm (arrow) arising from the proximal descending aorta immediately distal to the origin of the left subclavian artery (small arrow). This traumatic tear of the aorta occurred during a motor vehicle accident.
