متن کامل[Screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm by means of transthoracic echocardiography].
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The increasing incidence of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), mainly due to the aging population, and its mortality of 85-90% in the event of rupture justify opting for early diagnosis and elective treatment to repair it. The main aim of this paper is to analyze the utility of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in the study of infrarenal aorta and AAA screening. M...
متن کاملQuadricuspid aortic valve diagnosed by transthoracic echocardiography in childhood.

Most of the cases are diagnosed during surgery or autopsy. Associated abnormalities of the coronary arteries should also be searched, since surgical injury may have devastating results. We herein present a...
متن کاملAortic valve papillary fibroelastoma. A diagnosis by transthoracic echocardiography.
Cardiac papillary fibroelastomas are unusual, frond-like growths typically found on cardiac valves, diagnosed incidentally on autopsy or cardiac surgery, but rarely during life. We report a rare case of an aortic valve papillary fibroelastoma detected by transthoracic echocardiography and confirmed by histologic study.
