Q. Can you explain about thoracic Aortography?
Aortic arch angiography has been used to assess aortic valve or aortic root disease. Thoracic aortography is helpful for assessment of aneurysms, dissection, vascular rings, coarctation, patent ductus arteriosus as well as assessment of stenoses of origin of great vessels. It is also helpful in assessment of aorta after blunt or penetrating injuries to chest wall.
