A member asked:
If u have a aneurysm in thoracic aorta and made a echocardiogram, would doc see it ? if it was at the arch for example? didnt tell doc my worries
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not the arch: the echo will show the aortic root and part of the ascending aorta but not the arch. this will require a TEE or a CT scan .
