A) Transesophageal echocardiogram shows a heterogeneous echodensity (arrow) in the descending aorta. B) Computed tomogram (sagittal view) with thoracic contrast shows intimal damage and thrombus in the descending aorta (arrow). C) Computed tomogram of the entire aorta (cross-sectional view) shows a density in the descending aorta (arrow). D) Computed tomogram (3-dimensional volume-rendering) shows the site of injury to the aorta (arrow) and thrombus formation.
