case_images: FIG1
case_images: Figure 1 and Videos 1-2 show a Type B aortic dissection starting at the level of the aortic arch and extending itself at least throughout the thoracic aorta.
case_images: Descending aorta by TEE.. The aortic dissection flap separates the true and false lumen. The true lumen is smaller due to compression by the false lumen.. TEE: transesophageal echocardiography. Aortic dissection by TEE.. Evaluation of type B aortic dissection using color Doppler. The smaller cavity, which is filled by the color Doppler, corresponds to the true lumen.. TEE: transesophageal echocardiography. Abdominal MRI with gadolinium enhancement.. MRI sequence imaging showing the extension of the aortic dissection.. MRI sequence of the entrance tear of the aortic dissection.

case_images: An MRI was then performed to assess the extent of the dissection and the vascular compromise of the viscera (Figures 2-3; Videos 3-4).
case_images: MRI with gadolinium enhancement showing a flap (arrowhead) at the beginning of the descending aorta.
