Acute aortic regurgitation resulting from dehiscence of the aortic valve commissures.

چکیده
A 62-year-old man with a history of hypertension complained of cough and dyspnea and was admitted to a family doctor. He was transferred to our hospital for further investigation and therapy, a result of his doctor's suspicions of aortic regurgitation (AR) with infective endocarditis. During the operation, acute AR was found to be caused by dehiscence of the aortic valve commissures, and the valve was replaced with a mechanical valve. Postoperative course was uneventful. We reviewed reported cases of acute AR resulting from dehiscence of the aortic valve commissures.

Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is an uncommon complicatio...

متن کاملA Rare Case of Severe Aortic Regurgitation with Silent Ascending Aortic Dissection
Classically, ascending aortic dissection (AD) presents as sudden, severe chest pain that is tearing type and radiates to the back. Herein, we present a rare case of severe aortic regurgitation with silent ascending AD, which had no chest pain symptoms. The aortic valve apparatus probably masked this AD; therefore, it was not detected by echocardiography and during the surgery.

Commissural dehiscence of the aortic valve is a rare cause of aortic regurgitation. We report a 53-year-old male who had progressive aortic regurgitation and aortic root dilatation.

Transesophageal echocardiography revealed prolapse of the right and left coronary cusps with no intimal flap in ...
