Fig 1 Long-axis view at 134 degrees, from the mid-esophageal location, with color flow Doppler. The regurgitant jet occupies almost all the left ventricular outflow tract. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 1999 67, 1487-1489DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(99)00230-1)
Fig 2 (A) Short-axis view of the aortic valve from a mid-esophageal location (39 degrees). Color flow Doppler shows that the regurgitant jet originates from the left coronary cusp. (B) Mid-esophageal view, 39 degrees without color: short-axis view of the aortic valve. The left coronary cusp appears retracted.
