Fig. 2 Photograph (A) and schematic diagram (B) of the tip of the ultrasound catheter. The rotating mirror (1) sweeps the ultrasound beam produced by the fixed transducer (2) in a 360 degree arc, perpendicular to the tip of the catheter. The flexible guidewire (arrow) facilitates the intravascular passage of the catheter.

Fig. 3 Intravascular ultrasound images of (A) the proximal descending aorta and (B) distal abdominal aorta, show aortic wall (single arrow), dissection flap (double arrows), and true and false lumens. The anterior wall of the aorta is on the bottom of the image. T, True lumen;F, false lumen.
