Echocardiographic recognition of the congenital bicuspid aortic valve.
Twenty-one patients (age four to 25 years) with bicuspid aortic valves proved by surgery and angiography (12) or angiography alone (9) were studied by echocardiography. Seventeen patients had aortic valve disease (11 stenosis, 6 incompetence) and four had coarctation of the aorta with normally functioning aortic valves. A comparison group of 16 patients (9 with aortic valve disease and 7 withou...
متن کاملEchocardiographic recognition of the mitral valve-posterior aortic wall relationship.
Aortic-mitral valve discontinuity has previously been described in double outlet right ventricle, endocardial cushion defect, single ventricle, tetralogy of Fallot, and prolapse of the mitral valve. We are reporting two additional examples of aortic-mitral valve discontinuity including 15 cases of gross left ventricular dilation and a case of acute pneumococcal bacterial endocarditis with a la...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional echocardiographic features of Björk-Shiley aortic prosthetic valve dehiscence.
Dehiscence of the valve is a serious complication of prosthetic heart valve replacement. It has grave consequences unless promptly diagnosed and corrected by surgery. We report the case of a symptomless patient with near-complete detachment of the aortic prosthesis, diagnosed by radiography and two-dimensional echocardiography. This was confirmed at surgery and the dehisced prosthetic valve was...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional echocardiographic detection of pulmonic valve endocarditis.
Several large series of cases of infective endocarditis have mentioned the paucity of pulmonic valve involvement. 1-3 A recent study by Hubbell et a14 found no cases of pulmonic valve endocarditis in a group of 79 drug addicts with 97 separate episodes of infective endocarditis. It is possible that the paucity of such reports may be due in part to the difficulty of assessing the pulmonic valve....
متن کاملDetection of mitral ring abscess by two-dimensional echocardiography.
M-mode and two-dimensional echocardiographic features of mitral ring abscess are described. A round, dense echo mass between the posterior mitral leaflet and left ventricular posterior wall was demonstrated in long- and short-axis views of the left ventricle. The diagnosis of mitral ring abscess was confirmed at surgery. The superiority of two-dimensional echocardiography over M-mode echocardio...
