Subvalvular membrane on the left ventricular outflow tract: multidetector computerised tomography imaging.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this report, we describe a patient with a subvalvular membrane on the left ventricular outflow tract. Discrete subvalvular membrane is a cause of left ventricular outflow tract narrowing. Multidetector computerised tomography can demonstrate the anatomical three-dimensional view of this region and guide for surgery.

متن کاملThe role of multidetector computed tomography for detecting aortic root pseudoanerysms complicating infective endocarditis
Echocardiography is the mainstay imaging technique for detecting infective endocarditis vegetations but may struggle to detect and characterise complicating features. There is increasing interest in the use of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) as an adjunct to echocardiography, especially where there is concern for abscess or pseudoaneurysm formation. We present the case of a 70-year-old...
متن کاملPseudoaneurysm in the left ventricular outflow tract after prosthetic aortic valve implantation: evaluation upon multidetector-row computed tomography.
The high accuracy of multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) in evaluating prosthetic valve disorders has been confirmed. This, we believe, is the 1st report of the use of MDCT to detect and evaluate left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) pseudoaneurysms in patients who have undergone aortic valve replacement with prosthetic valves. We used MDCT to scan 21 such patients, 3 of whom had a sma...

We describe two cases of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction after mitral valve replacement with complete retention of the subvalvular apparatus. The first patient deteriorated immediately after insertion of a high-profile bioprosthesis. In the second patient, chronic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction developed after the insertion of a low-profile mechanical prosthesis. The clin...
متن کاملEchocardiographic findings in discrete subvalvular aortic stenosis.
Echographic features of three patients with discrete subvalvular aortic stenosis are presented. These include a narrowed area of the left ventricular outflow tract just below the aortic valve cusps in all cases. A high-intensity but thin echo was seen in the high left ventricular outflow tract at the level of the mitral annulus in one patient with a subaortic diaphragm. In one of the three pati...
