Abstrakt: We describe two patients in whom mitral valve prosthetic inflow mimicked severe aortic regurgitation. Repeat transthoracic echocardiography using multiple transducer angulations and a narrow color Doppler sector angle in one patient and a color Doppler M-Mode study in the second patient proved useful in excluding the presence of severe aortic regurgitation.
