Multislice CT virtual intravascular endoscopy of aortic dissection: A pictorial essay

Figure 9 Stanford type B dissection with the true lumen much smaller than the false lumen. The right renal artery arises from the compressed true lumen resulting in right renal infarction (A). Virtual intravascular endoscopy confirms the origin of the right renal ostium coming from the true lumen which is separated from the false lumen (F) by an intimal flap (IF) (B). Short arrows in A indicate the right renal artery, while long arrows in A refer to pericardial effusion. Pleural effusion is also present at both sides.
