Popis: The usefulness of two new radiologic technics, namely, cardiac ventriculography and suprasternal thoracic aortography, in assessment and quantitation of cardiac valvular regurgitant lesions is discussed. Direct needle puncture opacification of the ventricular chambers and the ascending aorta permits an objective appraisal of degrees of regurgitation of the mitral, tricuspid and aortic valves.
