ABSTRACT
The aortic chordae tendineae strands are suggested to be embryonic remnants of the cusp formation process. We herein describe a 70-year-old male who was admitted to our hospital for shortness of breath and chest tightness. During echocardiographic examination, severe aortic regurgitation with a ruptured fibrous strand was detected. Moreover, another fibrous strand was found by three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). To our knowledge, this is the first literature review of aortic chordae tendineae strands, including diagnosis, management, and mechanisms of aortic regurgitation due to such informal strands.
