Medical - Medical: Cardiology / cardiac ultrasound
French term or phrase: petit jet au niveau de la fente
In a cardiac ultrasound report: "pas d'épanchement péricardique, pas de CIA résiduelle, IT 1/4, IM 2+-3/4, surtout en postérieur, un petit jet au niveau de la fente..." A little spurt coming out of the fissure?? I'm guessing again, I'm afraid. Can anyone enlighten me as to what this is referring to? TIA.

small transseptal jet
Explanation:
Hi, Sarah,

The usual word in English is "jet". It describes the colored strip of Doppler flow on the screen.

They mean that the ASD ("CIA" in French) still allows a small amount of blood (depicted as a Doppler jet) to pass transseptally (i.e., through the interatrial septum) from the left atrium to the right atrium.

Good luck,

Elena

leak


Explanation:
If this is pathological, rather leak than spurt.
Trace aortic regurgitation: This is an abnormal finding. Fortunately, there is a only trace leak across the aortic valve.

spurt


Explanation:
I think spurt translates the notion of "jet" better than "leak", which means "fuite"
