The objective of this study is to demonstrate the applicability of virtual angioscopy (VA) in different forms of aortic disease where the diagnosis is unclear or uncertain. Five cases are presented where VA helped to establish a correct diagnosis and to choose the best surgical strategy by providing an intuitive image of the aorta.
