Echocardiographic features of traumatic disruption of the aortic valve

JA Gay, JS Gottdiener, MN Gomes, RH Patterson and RD Fletcher

The echocardiographic findings are presented of a patient who had evidence of aortic regurgitation one year after blunt trauma to the chest. Combined M-mode and 2-D imaging showed features suggestive of disruption of the posterior aortic leaflet, subsequently confirmed at operation, in the absence of infective endocarditis. Diagnosis of this uncommon cause of aortic regurgitation, heretofore confirmed only by direct visualization, may be made preoperatively by echocardiography.
