The reverse doming of the anterior mitral leaflet by two-dimensional echocardiography was shown in 39 patients(83%) among 47 patients with aortic regurgitation. The reverse doming was noted in 21(80%) of 26 patients with mild AR and in 15(83%) of 18 patients with moderate AR and in all(100%) of 3 patients with severe AR. Thus observing the reverse doming of the anterior mitral leaflet by two-dimensional echocardiography may be an important auxiliary diagnostic aid in conjunction with well known other echocardiographic findings.

We present 2 cases of patients who underwent surgical repair and replacement of an injured aortic valve that was secondary to nonpenetrating trauma. Primary repair was undertaken on an 18-year old boy, but he had persistent moderate aortic regurgitation for five years after surgery. Another 64-year old man was treated successfully with surgical replacement of the aortic valve via employing a prosthetic mechanical valve. Attempts at valvuloplasty for the treatment of traumatic aortic valve injury have not been uniformly successful, and prosthetic valve replacement is recommended for repair, except for highly selected cases.

We reported here on 2 cases of aortic regurgitation (AR) that were due to avulsion of the aortic valve commissure. Aortic valvuloplasty was attempted in both cases. In the 1st case, valvuloplasty was performed with reattaching the commissure using the 5-0 polypropylene continuous suture technique. However, aortic regurgitation recurred and this lead to reoperation on the postoperative 14th day. The intraoperative finding revealed a completely re-detached commissure that required mechanical valve replacement. In the second case, we attempted to reattach the commissure using pledgetted multiple transverse mattress sutures with 5-0 polypropylene. Because the leaflet coaptation was incomplete, the aortic valve was replaced with a tissue valve.
