Abstract

Recent advances in computed tomography angiography (CTA) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) have revolutionized the diagnostic work-up of aortic disease. Currently, catheter-based angiography is largely used as an adjunct during interventional procedures to treat aortic disease. This chapter reviews recent technical advances in CTA and MRA, and briefl y discusses the roles of carbon dioxide angiography and intravascular ultrasound in aortic interventions.
