Echocardiographic diagnosis of thrombus on a heterograft aortic valve in the mitral position.

Echocardiographic studies were used to diagnose a thrombus adherent to the ventricular surface of a stent-mounted porcine aortic heterograft valve in the mitral position. Multiple, intense, irregularly thickened echoes were present within and behind the anterior and posterior heterograft valvular stent. This suggested the presence of adherent biologic material, such as a thrombus. The abnormal echocardiographic findings are compared to the findings in a normally functioning porcine heterograft aortic valve in the mitral position.

Echocardiographic diagnosis of tetralogy of Fallot.

The echocardiographic features of tetralogy of Fallot were defined in 25 patients with this malformation proved by cardiac catheterization. The echocardiographic characteristic that was present in all patients and that was most sensitive was the abrupt ending of the interventricular septal echoes with the aorta overriding the ventricular septal defect. The following additional echocardiographic features were frequently demonstrated in these 25 patients: right ventricular enlargement (20 patients), hypertrophy of the interventricular septum (20 patients), diminution of the right ventricular outflow tract (21 patients) and widening of the aorta (24 patients). The suggestion is made that the most specific echocardiographic pattern of tetralogy of Fallot is the finding of several echocardiographic abnormalities rather than the single feature of aortic overriding. Recognition of the altered anatomic relation coupled with a complete echocardiographic evaluation of all cardiac structures is a reliable means of diagnosing tetralogy of Fallot.

Echocardiographic identification of a pericardial cyst.

The echocardiogram of a woman with an anterior mediastinal mass showed an echo-free space between the chest wall and the right ventricle. The interface of mass with pericardium was outlined by a narrow echo. These findings suggested a homogeneous fluid-filled, thin-walled sac. Postoperation, echocardiography was normal.
