Cineangiocardiography provides a valid pre-operative assessment of mitral and aortic regurgitation severity that correlates well with operative findings.

Cineangiography may support preoperative regurgitation grading; leaves open its role versus modern noninvasive imaging.
This study was performed to determine the validity of pre-operative assessment of mitral and aortic regurgitation by cineangiocardiography. The severity of both regurgitation was evaluated from several viewpoints and the results were compared each other. There was a general agreement between them and some indices suggested the regurgitant flow pattern. Cineangiographic assessment showed a good coincidence with operative findings and the indication for surgery was also discussed.
