The paper considers the basic diagnostic capacities of computed tomographic angiography (CTA) in aortic aneurysmal complications. The results of emergency of CTA were analyzed In 63 patients with suspected aortic aneurysmal dissection and rupture. CTA provides complete information on the site, extent, and spread, form and sizes of an aneurismal process, on the presence of intraluminal thrombi, on the presence or absence of aortic wall dissection and rupture, on the involvement of aortic branches, and the state of adjacent tissues and organs.
