Case 148: Decoding the Bicuspid Aortic Valve
All about the bicuspid aortic valve and MRI
All about the bicuspid aortic valve and MRI
Cardiac MRI does not show vegetations, easily especially if small. However, evaluating the transaxials through the valve may help pick up small nodules and to rule out mimics.
Diagnosing ventricular free wall rupture is not difficult, though these patients rarely come for cardiac MRI, since they are usually serious and clinically unstable.
