Abstract
A patient with severe aortic regurgitation showed abnormal echoes in the left ventricular outflow tract compatible with aortic vegetation or flail aortic cusp. At operation, a pedunculated vegetation on a prolapsed aortic cusp was found. The case illustrates some of the problems in the echocardiographic diagnosis of the 2 conditions.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
