摘要
The diagnosis of aortic injury after blunt chest trauma is of utmost importance to emergency physicians. We present a case in which transesophageal echocardiography was successful in diagnosing a transectional intimal tear on the posterior wall of the ascending aorta. Potential usefulness of transesophageal echocardiography is discussed.
