Introduction Assessment of the ascending aorta is an essential component of standard transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). While visualization of the aortic root and proximal ascending aorta is routinely achieved using the standard parasternal long-axis view (PLAX), imaging of the mid and distal ascending aorta remains technically challenging.– Current recommendations suggest moving the transducer to upper left intercostal spaces or alternatively using right parasternal windows to improve visualization of these segments in patients with adequate acoustic windows. In clinical practice, experienced echocardiographers […]
