May aid mitral regurgitation assessment when clinical signs are ambiguous; leaves open its role versus modern noninvasive imaging.
Does retrograde left ventricular cardioangiography accurately diagnose the presence and degree of mitral regurgitation in patients with complex valvular signs?
Retrograde left ventricular cardioangiography provides a valuable imaging technique for accurately diagnosing and quantifying mitral regurgitation when bedside clinical evaluation is insufficient.
Gray et al. (1963) studied this question.
