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. Reference: http://www.medhelp.org/forums/cardio/messages/33954.html |

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 See an actual Doppler image in an ASD with a clear orange jet: Subxiphoid short-axis view of secundum **atrial septal defect**. The orange ¨**jet** correlates with the left-to-right shunting through the atrial defect. http://www.childrenshospital.org/cfapps/mml/index.cfm?CAT=me...
