Anatomo-functional considerations on venogenic impotence.

The authors report their clinical experience with cavernosography and cavernosometry on impotent patients. The indications of method and its correct place in the diagnostic workup are underscored. The methods of evaluation are described, highlighting the advantages of a diagnostic pharmacological approach in respect to a near as possible physiological haemodynamic evaluation. Finally they propose a future development for the method, such as the use of PGE1 instead of the commonly employed drugs, and a new classification for the veno-occlusive disease with stage and grade.

[Echocardiography in the diagnosis of rupture of chordae tendineae. Description of a clinical case].

A case of ruptured chordae tendineae is reported. The patient, a 53 year old man, had a crescendo-decrescendo holosystolic murmur, a third and a fourth heart sound, that is the typical auscultatory pattern of this lesion. However, M-mode and 2-D echocardiography had a permanent role in arriving at the diagnosis. M-mode echocardiography, in fact, showed a clear systolic flutter of the mitral valve and a large anterior diastolic motion of the posterior mitral leaflet; 2-D echo, besides, revealed a quick systolic motion into the left atrium of the tip of the posterior mitral leaflet and lack of coaptation of mitral leaflet during systole. The patient underwent an operation of valve repair. At the postoperative echocardiographic examination none of the features of flail posterior mitral leaflet were found. This fact can demonstrate the success of the operation.
