Figure 1
A and B, Top left and right illustrate the echocardiographic appearance of the lesion on transesophageal echocardiogram. C, Bottom left illustrates the extensive mitral annular calcification noted on computed tomography.
Figure 2
Figure 2
Intraoperative photograph of the necrotic mitral annulus, with the patient's head shown superiorly. The forceps show the friable fibrinous vegetation, in continuation with the annulus.
Figure 3
Figure 3
A, Diagram demonstrates exposure of the mitral valve with findings of large vegetation/abscess involving the posterior annulus area; mitral annular calcification is also evident. B, View seen following the excision of posterior leaflet of the mitral valve, debridement of the annulus of the abscess, and mitral annular calcification. The annulus is being reconstructed. The subvalvular apparatus is partially preserved. C, Bioprosthetic mitral valve replacement with sutures placed in the native and neoannulus.
