Аннотация
HIGHLIGHTS: Descending thoracic aorta tortuosity, sometimes present as a vascular mass in the mediastinum, distorting nearby cardiac chambers, which may confuse physicians during transesophageal echocardiography.Recognizing the potential echocardiographic presentation of aortic tortuosity can aid in the timely identification of this condition during transesophageal echocardiography.
UNLABELLED: Descending thoracic aorta tortuosity results from elongation of the descending aorta and is associated with aging. It acts as a risk factor for challenging endovascular procedures and has prognostic significance. It may, however, sometimes present as a vascular mass in the mediastinum, distorting nearby cardiac chambers, which may confuse physicians during transesophageal echocardiography.We describe an elderly woman with severe descending thoracic aorta tortuosity presenting with a tubular vascular mass located behind the left atrium, exerting compression on it. Recognizing the potential echocardiographic presentation of aortic tortuosity can aid in the timely identification of this condition during transesophageal echocardiography.
