Late Presentation of Massive Aortic Aneurysm with Aortic Regurgitation

Figures

• 

  Figure 1. Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiographic parasternal long-axis view zoomed in on the aortic valve and root. The leading edge–to–leading edge technique was used to measure the aortic root at just over 7 cm.

• 

  Figure 2. Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiographic apical long-axis view with continuous-wave Doppler across the aortic valve demonstrating a regurgitant pressure half-time of 248 msec.

• 

  Figure 3. Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiographic suprasternal view with continuous-wave Doppler of aortic flow demonstrating holodiastolic flow reversal in the ascending aorta.

• 

  Figure 4. Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiographic parasternal short-axis view of the aortic valve demonstrating a grossly dilated aortic root.

• 

  Figure 5. Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiographic parasternal short-axis view M-mode image demonstrating eccentric closure of the aortic valve.

• 

  Figure 6. Contrast-enhanced computed tomographic coronal image of the thoracic cavity demonstrating a grossly dilated aortic root compared with the ascending aorta. AA, Ascending aorta; AO, dilated aortic root; LV, left ventricle.
