The contribution of right ventricular angiocardiography to the diagnosis of tricuspid valvular stenosis (Observations made on 3 patients).
The right ventricular angiocardiographic findings, in the anterioposterior projection, are described on three patients with tricuspid valvular stenosis. During diastole, the tricuspid valve was delineated as an arcline contour, placed between the non opacified right atrium and the opacified right ventricle, and it was displaced to the left of the spine. Its mobility was diminished. Right ventricular angiocardiography seems to be a useful method for the diagnosis of the tricuspid valvular stenosis and the estimation of the pathology and the functional condition of the tricuspid valve. The method is recommended for further evaluation.
