(a) Transesophageal echocardiography, mid-esophageal long-axis view. The yellow arrow indicates the perforation in the anterior mitral leaflet. (b) Transesophageal echocardiography, mid-esophageal long-axis view with color Doppler imaging. 1 shows central mitral regurgitation (MR), 2 shows severe MR from the perforated area in the anterior mitral leaflet. (c) Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography image shows MV from surgical view. The yellow and red arrows indicate two different perforations in the anterior mitral leaflet. (d) Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography with color Doppler imaging. The yellow and red arrows indicate two different mitral regurgitations from different perforation sites in the anterior mitral leaflet AVR - aortic valve replacement, LA - left atrium, LV - left ventricle; MV - mitral valve, AV - aortic valve
