Aortic Incompetence

ABSTRACT Endocarditis of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) can lead to valve perforation and result in severe aortic incompetence. Perforation of valve cusps should be considered in the differential diagnosis of BAV patients presenting with AR, and the condition should not be mistaken as a regurgitant trileaflet AV on transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Accurate preoperative characterization of the mechanism of aortic regurgitation by TEE is important for determining the type of surgical repair. How to cite this article Pal S.

High Index Of Suspicion

ABSTRACT Bicuspid aortic valve is a common congenital heart defect frequently associated with complications of aortic valve and dilatation of ascending aorta. High index of suspicion is required for diagnosis of aortic dissection in patient with bicuspid aortic valve and ascending aortic dilatation. We present a case of bicuspid aortic valve with ascending aortic aneurysm in which aortic dissection was detected by intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). A careful review of patient's preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan showed dissection flap in the ascending aorta, which was overlooked in CT reporting. We present how intraoperative TEE helped in surgical planning for the patient. How to cite this article Vishwakarma RK, Raj R, Puri GD.
