Eccentricity Index in Bicuspid Aortic Valve

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Transcript of the video: Closure line of aortic valve on M-Mode echocardiogram, is seen as central line, while in bicuspid aortic valve, it is an eccentric closure, nearer to one of the walls of the aorta. That is an important feature of bicuspid aortic valve on M-Mode echocardiogram. This is a closure line.

So right ventricle maintains both systemic and pulmonary circulation after a Norwood procedure.

This is the aortic valve in closed position and mitral valve also appears to be closed in position. That is because timing of the image may be in such a way that, it could have been in such a way that both valves are in closed position. You require multiple views to see from where the pulmonary arteries are arising.

Usual structures imaged in this view are the right ventricular free wall and outflow region, interventricular septum, aorta, and aortic valve, left ventricular outflow tract, anterior and posterior mitral leaflets, left ventricular cavity, posterior wall of left ventricle and left atrium. Colour flow shows the flow in pulmonary artery.
