1 Early Bioprosthetic Mitral Valve Failure Due to Fusion of the Cusps
Natalie Glaser, MD, Jan Liska, MD, PhD, Jan Hultman, MD, PhD, Peter Svenarud, MD, PhD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 96, Issue 2, Pages (August 2013) DOI: /j.athoracsur Copyright © 2013 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Transesophageal echocardiography demonstrating (A–C) two-dimensional images and (D) a three-dimensional image of the malfunctioning bioprosthesis. A and B are similar to a midesophageal two-chamber view (ME 2CH) and four-chamber view (ME 4CH), respectively; C is similar to a basal transgastric short-axis (TG SAX) view; and D is the result of computing all the information of the area of interest during diastole. Note that the cusps are not fully opened, causing a stenosis of the valve.

3 Fig 2 Fusion of the cusps and a subsequent diminished central opening area are shown in the explanted bioprosthesis. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur ) Copyright © 2013 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions
