Figure 2

Transesophageal echocardiography in short-axis view identifying (A) the anterior thickening of the aortic wall, and (B) using the multi-plane modality, the inhomogeneous material both anteriorly and posteriorly (maximum 9 mm), extending up to the sino-tubular junction, highly suggestive of aortic root aneurysm and aortitis
