doi: 10.1186/s40981-020-0313-3
Figure Lengend Snippet: Using LIVE xPlane, a mid-esophageal aortic valve long-axis transesophageal echocardiography image (left image) and aortic valve short-axis transesophageal echocardiography image (right image) were taken, with the image inverted from right to left. Acceleration flow was recognized in the non-coronary cusp of the intra-sewing ring white arrow indicates aortic regurgitation and white dotted arrow indicates its acceleration flow
Article Snippet: LIVE xPlane, using a CX50 (Philips Medical Systems, Bothell, WA, USA), revealed that the regurgitation had originated in the intra-sewing ring of a non-coronary cusp and was not located at the point of the hinges (Fig. ).
