Abstract

The simplified Bernoulli equation may not accurately calculate pressure gradient across the valve in combined aortic stenosis and regurgitation (Cujec, 1992 and Stewart, 1991). 1 lie specific aim of this project is to investigate in a pulse duplicator system the pressure and flow changes lor a caged and tilting disk aortic valve with combined lesions and to correlate parameters derived from Continuous wave and Color Doppler flow mapping to hemodynamic measurements. The various severity of valve insufficiency and/or stenosis were simulated. Parameters, obtained by Doppler measurements, should be corrected in case of combined aortic valve lesions to avoid incorrect diagnosis. Degree of insufficiency in the stenosed valve influenced pressure gradient. Area of regurgitant jet depends oil stenosis sevei ity as well.
