Mid-diastolic aortic valve opening in severe acute aortic regurgitation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A case of severe acute aortic regurgitation is reported. Echocardiographic findings included mid-diastolic opening of the aortic valve, premature closure of the mitral valve, diastolic shuddering of the anterior mitral leaflet, probable demonstration of the flail aortic cusp in the left ventricular outflow tract, and increased left atrial and left ventricular dimensions. Correlation with hemodynamic, angiographic and surgical evidence is made.

Premature opening of aortic valve in severe aortic regurgitation.
Premature opening of the aortic valve in late diastole has been demonstrated by echocardiography in a patient with severe aortic regurgitation. Valve opening coincided with the end of the diastolic murmur and equalization of aortic and left ventricular diastolic pressures. Echocardiography of the aortic valve in severe aortic reflux may, therefore, provide valuable information about the underly...

Although classic and standard procedure for patients with ascending Aorta aneurysm with Sever aortic Regurgitation is Bentall surgery but in some selected cases this complex surgery was not performed with different reason like advanced age and coexisting comorbidity involving renal and hepatic and lung Function. In our cases 75 years old man with chronic renal failure ( Cr= 3.2 ) who was known ...
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.
متن کاملDiastolic murmurs in the presence of Starr-Edwards mitral prosthesis.
Diastolic murmurs associated with the Starr-Edwards mitral prosthesis have not been described previously. In this report, five patients with mitral prostheses are described in whom apical mid-diastolic and presystolic murmurs resulted from two different causes. Three patients had clots obstructing the prosthetic orifice. The other two had normally functioning protheses and moderately severe aor...
متن کاملEchocardiography of the mitral valve in aortic valve disease.
Ultrasonic echocardiograms from the anterior cusp of the mitral valve have been obtained in 75 patients with aortic regurgitation in whom there was haemodynamic or surgical confirmation, or both, of the state of the mitral valve. Coincident mitral stenosis could be recognized from the echocardiogram in all cases by a slow diastolic closure rate and widening of the echo from the anterior mitral ...
