| Popis: |
The objective of this study was to determine the nature of sonographically observed band-shaped, homogeneous, almost echo-free structures located ventral to the right ventricle of the heart in heart transplant recipients.A total of 212 consecutive heart transplant recipients was evaluated sonographically.In 18 of the 212 patients (8.5%) band-shaped structures were detected, and these structures were proved with computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging to be caused by mediastinal fat.A sonographically demonstrable, almost echo-free band-shaped structure located ventral to the heart should not be misinterpreted as localized pericardial effusion. |
