Utility of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging for pre-operatively evaluating the degree of caseous calcification of the mitral annulus infiltration within the left ventricular myocardium: a case report

BACKGROUND: Depending on the degree of infiltration of dry mitral annulus calcification (MAC) into the left ventricular myocardium, calcification removal may cause thinning of the left ventricular wall and increase the risk of post-operative left ventricular rupture. Therefore, the degree of pre-ope...
