Résumé : Although differential diagnosis between LE and VT of an Edwards-Duromedics mitral valve can be suspected on clinical, phonocardiographic and echocardiographic bases, we propose that fluoroscopy is the rapid, non-invasive test to distinguish between both conditions if properly conducted and interpreted: with adequate orientation of the X-ray beam, the presence of both leaflets and their range of motion can be reliably assessed.
