Back to the Future-Importance of Spectral Doppler.

Spectral Doppler is a part of the comprehensive echocardiographic imaging of the blood flow characteristics. Both pulsed-wave (PWD) and continuous-wave Doppler (CWD) provide valuable information about the blood flow speed and direction pattern. Evaluation of blood flow characteristics is crucially important in patients who present with thoracic aortic false aneurysm (TAFA). In the case presented, spectral Doppler interrogation, using both PWD and CWD, helped with establishing accurate mechanism for TAFA and guided surgical management.
