Transthoracic echocardiography allows noninvasive assessment of the structure and function of the great vessels of the heart. We report a case of a 70-year-old man who had an isolated, mildly obstructive, supravalvular pulmonary artery ridge that was detected incidentally with transthoracic echocardiography. This report confirms the utility of transthoracic echocardiography in the detection of this condition and discusses quantification of this rare anomaly.
经胸超声心动图可对心脏大血管的结构和功能进行无创评估。我们报告一例70岁男性病例,其经胸超声心动图偶然发现孤立的、轻度梗阻性的肺动脉瓣上嵴。本报告证实了经胸超声心动图在检测这种情况中的作用,并讨论了这种罕见异常的量化。
