[The surgically treated aortic valve defect in the pre- and postoperative x-ray].
Within a postoperative control study of 81 patients with aortic valvular disease 14 patients showed cardiomegaly. This might be caused by several reasons as insufficiency of valvular prosthesis, coronary disease, adipositas or wrong digitalis application. All patients with pulmonary congestion, except one, showed a complete removal of congestion, because the wide position of the vessels was not yet fixed.
