Detection of flail aortic valve in bacterial endocarditis with real-time two-dimensional echocardiography. A case report
Jpn Heart J.
1980 Jan.
Abstract
This report describes a case with flail right and noncoronary cusps due to bacterial endocarditis, diagnosed with real-time two-dimensional echocardiography. Real-time two-dimensional phased array sector scanner demonstrated 2 cugdel-shaped lesions in the region of the left ventricular outflow tract through the aortic root, pendulating upward and downward floating along the blood stream. This study shows that the real-time two-dimensional echocardiography is a very useful noninvasive tool in the early diagnosis of flail aortic valve.
