From: Simplicity, skills, and pitfalls of ascending aortic cannulation for type A aortic dissection
(A) A case of thrombosed ascending aortic false lumen (arrow) with retrograde aortic dissection of DeBakey type III, in which the false lumen dilated when performing the Seldinger technique. (B) Dilatation was estimated to be the result of formation of a small entry due to the difference in diameter between dilator (#1) and guide wire (#2). The bottom part of the photograph indicates the direction of the patient’s head.
