Abstract
Spontaneous echocardiographic contrast may be seen in the false and tr ue lumens of dissecting aortic aneurysms. Using transesophageal echoca rdiography, we identified the false lumen as the source of spontaneous echocardiographic contrast in the true lumen of a patient with an aor tic dissection.
