Figure 6 Aortic graft infection.
A and B: Infection of aortic grafts can be difficult to visualize on transesophageal echocardiography (TEE); C and D: This case demonstrates evidence of a peri-aortic graft echolucent space with stranding, which was challenging to image on TEE, and further characterization with cardiac computed tomography clearly demonstrated peri-aortic graft thickening (star) consistent with infection.
