Auscultatory and phonocardiographic characteristics of supracristal ventricular septal defect.

Abstract

Six cases of supracristal ventricular septal defect, verified by right heart catheterization and left ventricular angiocardiography, are presented. Three of the 6 cases had associated aortic regurgita- tion both clinically and by retrograde aortography. The diagnosis was verified also by operation in 3 of the cases, and in one of these also by necropsy.
