Diastolic dysfunction of the left ventricle was complicated further by ischemic heart disease in 23 cases, moderate mitral regurgitation in 8, and moderate
aortic insufficiency in 1.
11) In fact, acute
aortic insufficiency is now the most common cause of death in patients with infectious endocarditis.
Follow-up results of balloon aortic valvuloplasty in children with special reference to causes of late
aortic insufficiency.
Late complications of surgery include re-dissection, formation and expansion of an aneurysm,
aortic insufficiency, and organ ischemia.
Transesophageal echocardiography revealed septic emboli and moderate to severe
aortic insufficiency.
During that admission a diastolic murmur was note& and an echocardiogram showed severe
aortic insufficiency with a thickened aortic valve.
The primary endpoint of the study is a composite of the following ten Major Adverse Events at 30 days or discharge: death, myocardial infarction, stroke, repeat revascularization (PCI/CABG), need for any cardiovascular operation, acute renal dysfunction, increase in
aortic insufficiency, severe hypotension, CPR or arrhythmia requiring Trt, failure to adequately reopen the vessel.
All patients had moderate or severe pulmonary arterial hypertension; besides, there were 28 cases of ventricular septal defect, 16 cases of atrial septal defect, eight cases of
aortic insufficiency, four cases of mitral stenosis and insufficiency and four cases of infectious endocarditis.
9 Secondary
aortic insufficiency, is associated with prolapse of aortic valve cusps.
Late complications of surgery include redissection, formation and expansion of an aneurysm,
aortic insufficiency, and organ ischemia.
