Aortic regurgitation from infective endocarditis in Fallot's tetralogy and pulmonary atresia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three cases of aortic regurgitation acquired as the result of bacterial endocarditis complicating Fallot's tetralogy and pulmonary atresia have been described. One also had mitral regurgitation from a 'jet lesion' of the anterior cusp of the mitral valve. Surgical treatment of all abnormalities with aortic valve repair or replacement was undertaken in each patient and was successful in two. Difficulties in diagnosis and surgical treatment are discussed.

Results of surgical treatment for pulmonary atresia.
Most cases of pulmonary atresia have the general anatomical features of Fallot's tetralogy with atresia at or near the pulmonary valve instead of stenosis, but in one quarter of the necropsy cases the ventricular septum is intact instead of having a defect (24%, Peacock, 1866, and Abbott, 1936). The general features, based on six cases with necropsy, have been discussed by Allanby et al. (1950)...

متن کاملRight ventricular Hemodynamic Alteration after Pulmonary Valve Replacement in Children with Congenital Heart Disease
Introduction: In patients who underwent surgery to repair Tetralogy of Fallot, right ventricular dilation from pulmonary regurgitation may be result in right ventricular failure, arrhythmias and cardiac arrest. Hence, pulmonary valve replacement may be necessary to reduce right ventricular volume overload. The aim of present study was to assess the effects of pulmonary valve replacement on rig...
متن کاملPrevalence and clinical significance of aortic valve prolapse.
The prevalence and clinical significance of aortic valve prolapse were determined prospectively in 2000 consecutive patients undergoing routine clinical cross sectional echocardiography. Two hundred and twelve patients were excluded because the aortic cusps were not adequately visualised. Aortic valve prolapse was defined as downward displacement of cuspal material below a line joining the poin...
