The echocardiographic features of an aneurysm of the left sinus of Valsalva are described and correlated with angiographic findings. The echocardiogram showed the presence of a thin line of echoes occurring proximal to the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve and moving in and out of apposition with the posterior aortic wall. During systole, this line of echoes moved away from the aorta into the left atrium, and during diastole, the line moved into the aorta. Recognition of these features provides a potential noninvasive way to diagnose aneurysms of the left sinus of Valsalva prior to rupture.
描述了瓦氏窦左窦瘤的超声心动图特征，并将其与血管造影结果相关联。超声心动图显示在二尖瓣前叶近端出现一条薄回声线，该回声线与主动脉后壁进出贴合。在收缩期，这条回声线从主动脉移向左心房，而在舒张期，该线移回主动脉。识别这些特征为在瓦氏窦左窦瘤破裂前进行诊断提供了一种潜在的非侵入性方法。
