3-Dimensional Images of Mitral Annulus Perforation: An Alien’s Mouth

In this clinical vignette, we describe a case of a patient with windsock-like posterior mitral annulus perforation at the site of annular calcification caused by infective endocarditis. Three-dimensional transesophageal images of the perforation resembling an “alien’s mouth” are very striking for ho...

description In this clinical vignette, we describe a case of a patient with windsock-like posterior mitral annulus perforation at the site of annular calcification caused by infective endocarditis. Three-dimensional transesophageal images of the perforation resembling an “alien’s mouth” are very striking for how 3-dimensional imaging can improve visualization of anatomy of the heart.
