Lambl's Excrescences (Valvular Strands).

摘要: We review the literature on Lambl's excrescences (valvular strands). With widespread use of cardiac imaging modalities, most importantly, with transesophageal echocardiography, abnormal valvular structures are frequently identified both native and prosthetic heart valves. However, there is no consensus in correct terminology these structures. The relationship between strands (the so-called excrescences) papillary fibroelastomas has not been well established. In this review, we attempt to summarize available echocardiographic descriptors gross macroscopic histological features addition, etiology, pathogenesis, clinical implications excrescences. Also, describe that help distinguish fibroelastomas. Because (Lambl's have implicated systemic thromboembolism, also management principles for patients strands; unfortunately, specific therapeutic guidelines can be proposed at present time.
