Localization of aortic valve vegetations by echocardiography.
Nine patients with anatomically documented vegetations on one or more cusps of the aortic valve had echocardiograms in which abnormal echoes were associated with the aortic leaflet echoes. The motion of the abnormal echoes during systole correlated well with the anatomic location of vegetations: a vegetation on the right coronary cusp moved anteriorly with systole while a vegetation on the nonc...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of vegetations detected by two-dimensional echocardiography in infective endocarditis.
Although 2DE is considered the most sensitive method for detecting vegetations in infective endocarditis, the independent clinical significance of these vegetations continues to be debated. To further examine this, we identified 74 patients who were diagnosed as having infective endocarditis over a 54-month period. The 50 patients who underwent 2DE examination form the basis of this report. Def...
متن کاملTraumatic Esophageal Injury Detected by Transthoracic Echocardiography
A 65-year-old man was admitted to our hospital after being injured in a motor vehicle accident. Fractures of the sternum and right tibia were diagnosed and surgical bone repair was planned. Preoperative transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) revealed an unusual round-shaped mass with a central high echoic lesion, measuring 2-3 cm in diameter, behind the left atrium (Picture 1). Contrast-enhanced ...
متن کاملReal-time three-dimensional echocardiography in evaluating Libman-Sacks vegetations.
Libman-Sacks endocarditis, characterized by sterile fibrofibrinous vegetations that have the potential to develop anywhere on the endocardial surface, was originally reported in 1924. The mitral valve is most commonly affected, followed by the aortic valve, whereas tricuspid and pulmonary valves are seldom involved. Libman-Sacks vegetations can be found in approximately 1 of 10 patients with sy...
