Graphical abstract
Figure 1
Figure 1
Two-dimensional TTE, modified parasternal long-axis orientation in late-diastolic phase demonstrates the large MVSA (arrow). AV, Aortic valve; LA, left atrium; LV, left ventricle; RV, right ventricle.
Figure 2
Figure 2
Two-dimensional basal parasternal short-axis view, pulsed-wave Doppler of the RVOT.
Figure 3
Figure 3
Two-dimensional TTE, apical five-chamber view, diastolic phase without (A) and with (B) an UEA demonstrates the large MVSA (∗) bulging into the RV. A filling defect is seen inside the MVSA (arrow) consistent with a suspected thrombus (B). LA, Left atrium; LV, left ventricle; RV, right ventricle. The arrow indicates the thrombus.
Figure 4
Figure 4
Contrast-enhanced CCT scan, multiplanar reconstruction, coronal display (A), and maximal intensity projection with increased slice thickness, oblique sagittal short-axis display (B). The filling defect (thrombus) is well visualized (arrows) and can be measured at 0.8 × 1.2 cm. Ao, Ascending aorta; AV, aortic valve; LV, left ventricle; PV, pulmonic valve. The arrow indicates the thrombus.
