Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Measured by Point of Care Ultrasound Suprasternal Notch View
DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8Z64VPoint-of-care cardiac echocardiogram demonstrated a dilated ascending aorta (illustrated in red) measuring approximately 4 cm in the parasternal long axis (PLAX). A dilated aortic arch (illustrated in green) also measuring approximately 4 cm was appreciated using the suprasternal notch view (SSNV). A follow-up computed tomography angiogram (CTA) was performed, validating bedside ultrasound measurements.
