Transthoracic anatomy and pathology: Valves

2020 ◽  
pp. 287-386

This chapter deals with the anatomy and pathology of valves in transthoracic echocardiography. It covers the mitral valve (stenosis, regurgitation, PISA, and prolapse); the aortic valve (stenosis and low-flow stenosis and regurgitation); the bicuspid, quadricuspid, and tricuspid valves; carcinoid heart syndrome; the pulmonary valve (stenosis, regurgitation, and prolapse); prosthetic valves (mechanical and bioprosthetic), along with stenosis, regurgitation, and regurgitation; and finally endocarditis.

This chapter deals with the valves in transoesophageal echocardiography. It covers the mitral valve (stenosis, regurgitation, and prolapse), the aortic valve (stenosis and low-flow stenosis and regurgitation), the tricuspid valve, the pulmonary valve (stenosis, regurgitation, and prolapse), infective endocarditis (diagnosis, echocardiographic features, and differential diagnoses).

Cardiac CT is not the first nor the most frequently applied imaging technique in patients with suspected or established valvular heart disease. It has a complementary role in the management of valvular heart disease in specific situations. This chapter covers the role of cardiac CT, including scan protocols, limitations, and challenges, the mitral and aortic valve, stenosis, regurgitation, the tricuspid valve, pulmonary valve, and prosthetic valves.

Papillary fibroelastoma is a rare, benign tumor that affects males more frequently than females and that tends to be diagnosed during the fifth or sixth decade of life. It tends to arise on cardiac valves, with the aortic valve being the most frequent location followed by the mitral valve, the tricuspid valve, and the pulmonary valve. We present the case of a robotic-assisted, totally endoscopic excision of a mitral valve papillary fibroelastoma.
