Continuous murmur in Lutembacher syndrome analyzed by Doppler echocardiography.
A continuous murmur was heard in a 47-year-old woman with Lutembacher syndrome. Transesophageal and intraoperative Doppler echocardiography revealed the murmur originating from the accelerated blood flow passing through the small atrial septal defect. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a continuous murmur in Lutembacher syndrome analyzed by Doppler echocardiography.
