Evaluation of aortic valve prolapse in ventricular septal defect.

摘要: Angiographic criteria for the recognition of aortic valve prolapse in isolated ventricular septal defect were based on degree cusp deformity and presence or absence regurgitation. Ninety eight consecutive patients with perimembranous infundibular defects who catheterised had aortography performed reviewed. They included five postoperative three additional mild right outflow tract obstruction. Eighteen found to have prolapse. Although 18 noted regurgitation angiographically, only an early diastolic murmur. Only cross sectional echocardiographic findings suggestive All these at least moderate angiographically. Cross echocardiography was be insensitive diagnosing degrees A trend towards a decreasing left shunt as increased. Spontaneous decrease size may due unrecognised without clinical evidence
