. The heart and the aorta; studies in clinical radiology . Fig. 72 Fig. 73 Fig. 72. AORTIC INSUFFICIENCY AND MITRAL STENOSIS Fig. 73. SAME CASE, IN RIGHT POSTERIOR POSITION, AT 50 DEGREES 108 THE HEART AND THE AORTA pulsations showed in the course of radioscopic examina-tion an unusual amplitude. On this same tracing, however, the median arc is seento be increased, which leads to the supposition that theauricle must be abnormally developed. In the right posterior oblique position (Fig. 73), thislast sign becomes clear. It is seen that in the retro-cardiac clear space is a shadow due in part to the leftventricle, and in part also, in the upper region, to theauricle. For this to occur, the auricle itself must neces-sarily be enlarged. Both examinations then showed thatthere was indeed a combination of the two lesions: aorticinsufficiency and mitral stenosis. AORTIC INSUFFICIENCY OF ARTERIAL ORIGIN In the preceding cases aortic insufficiency constituted,as stated, the entire disease, the aorta presenting nochanges. This type of lesion, relativel
