Rheumatic Aortic Regurgitation in a Patient with Large Congenital Fenestrations in All Three Leaflets

Rheumatic Aortic Regurgitation in a Patient with Large Congenital Fenestrations in All Three Leaflets

Fenestrations of the aortic valve rarely produce significant valvular regurgitation. These are typically described as incidental findings with little clinical significance because they generally lie above their closing edges. Rarely however, when unusually large or multiple, they can lead to massive...

These are typically described as incidental findings with little clinical significance because they generally lie above their closing edges. Rarely however, when unusually large or multiple, they can lead to massive aortic regurgitation (AR), mostly in patients with chronic hypertension and/or aortic annular dilation. We operated a 52 year old normotensive male with chronic rheumatic AR and found large fenestrations in all three aortic cusps, hardly ever reported in rheumatic valvular involvement in the literature.http://journals.tbzmed.ac.ir/JCVTR/PDF/JCVTR-6-61.pdfAortic ValveValve FenestrationAortic Regurgitation
