Figures

Figure 1
Transoesophageal echocardiography short-axis view demonstrated calcified bicuspid aortic valve with a paravalvular abscess (A). A vegetation on the posterior hemivalve (blue arrows) and a large abscess affecting left coronary sinus and the aortic root (white arrows) was documented from the transoesophageal echocardiography long-axis view (B). The multidetector computed tomographic angiography demonstrated three images on the aortic root, behind the main left coronary artery suggesting mycotic aneurysm or abscesses (white arrows) (C).
