1 Penetrating ulcer of the thoracic aorta: What is it
Penetrating ulcer of the thoracic aorta: What is it? How do we recognize it? How do we manage it?  Michael A. Coady, MD, John A. Rizzo, PhD, Graeme L. Hammond, MD, John G. Pierce, MD, Gary S. Kopf, MD, John A. Elefteriades, MD  Journal of Vascular Surgery  Volume 27, Issue 6, Pages (June 1998) DOI: /S (98) Copyright © 1998 Society for Vascular Surgery and International Society for Cardiovascular Surgery, North American Chapter Terms and Conditions

2 Fig. 1 A, Computed tomographic scan of patient 3 (Table II) at middle level of the descending thoracic aorta. Clearly demonstrated is a contrast medium–filled penetrating ulcer. No intimal flap is seen. B, Computed tomographic scan shows classic type B aortic dissection for comparison. Intimal flap and both true and false lumens are present.

3 Fig. 2 Aortic angiogram confirms diffuse atherosclerotic disease in patient 3 (Table II). This patient had a penetrating ulcer confirmed by means of CT scan.
