TL;DR
This paper describes how 3D echocardiography helped identify a rare cause of aortic regurgitation following a heart procedure.
Contribution
The study highlights the diagnostic value of 3D imaging in identifying aortic valve injury when 2D imaging is inconclusive.
Findings
New-onset aortic regurgitation after coronary angiography may indicate aortic valve injury.
3D imaging revealed a partial tear in the right coronary cusp that 2D imaging missed.
TEE findings influenced changes in the patient's medical treatment.
Abstract
•New-onset AR after coronary angiography should raise suspicion for AV injury.•Consider 3D imaging if no clear etiology found with 2D imaging.•Three-dimensional imaging showed a partial tear of RCC.•Medical intervention was altered based in part on TEE findings. New-onset AR after coronary angiography should raise suspicion for AV injury. Consider 3D imaging if no clear etiology found with 2D imaging. Three-dimensional imaging showed a partial tear of RCC. Medical intervention was altered based in part on TEE findings.
