Key result
Radiographic techniques successfully detected aortic-ball variance in a patient with a barium-impregnated silicone-rubber ball despite normal prosthetic valve sounds.
Why the study?
Can radiographic techniques detect aortic-ball variance in asymptomatic patients with barium-impregnated silicone-rubber prosthetic valves?
Case Report (n=1)
Can radiographic techniques detect aortic-ball variance in asymptomatic patients with barium-impregnated silicone-rubber prosthetic valves?
Radiographic screening using high-resolution films and cineradiography can detect aortic-ball variance early in asymptomatic patients with barium-impregnated prosthetic valves.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support radiographic detection of silent aortic-ball variance; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change screening practice.
J. C. Hylen (1969) conducted a case report in Aortic-ball variance (n=1). Radiographic diagnosis was evaluated on Detection of aortic-ball variance. Radiographic techniques successfully detected aortic-ball variance in a patient with a barium-impregnated silicone-rubber ball despite normal prosthetic valve sounds.
