  • Title: Echocardiographic features of traumatic disruption of the aortic valve.
    Author: Gay JA, Gottdiener JS, Gomes MN, Patterson RH, Fletcher RD.
    Journal: Chest; 1983 Jan; 83(1):150-1. PubMed ID: 6848324.
    Abstract:
    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.
