Abstract

We report three cases of patients with blunt thoracic trauma, who underwent transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) because of high index of clinical suspicion for acute traumatic aortic syndrome. TEE revealed three different locations of aortic injury one of which was not diagnosed with aortography.
