Overview
On transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiogram, aortitis is characterized by aortic wall thickening.[1] Echocardiography may also be helpful in the assessment of aortic root and aortic valve involvement in aortitis.[2] Findings on ultrasound suggestive of Takayasu arteritis include extensive concentric thickening of affected aorta and branch vessels.[3] Findings on ultrasound suggestive of giant cell arteritis include a "halo" sign, aortic wall thickening, and small aneurysms.[2]
Echocardiogram
On transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiogram, aortitis is characterized by circumferential thickening of the aortic wall.[1] Echocardiography may be helpful in the assessment of aortic root and aortic valve involvement in aortitis.[2]
Ultrasound
Vascular ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of idiopathic aortitis variants with periaortitis and aortitis due to either Takayasu arteritis or giant cell arteritis. Findings on ultrasound suggestive of

Takayasu arteritis include extensive concentric thickening of affected aorta and branch vessels.[3] Findings on ultrasound suggestive of giant cell arteritis include a "halo" sign, aortic wall thickening, and small aneurysms.[2] On vascular ultrasound, idiopathic aortitis variants are characterized by mural thickening with an echolucent periaortic mass.[3]
