  • Title: Unusual Aorto-mitral Discontinuity Caused by Infective Endocarditis.
    Author: Nakagawa T, Mori M, Tada H, Ohira M, Iino K, Hayashi K, Takemura H, Yamagishi M, Kawashiri MA.
    Journal: Intern Med; 2019 Aug 15; 58(16):2373-2376. PubMed ID: 31118390.
    Abstract:
    Aorto-mitral discontinuity is considered a relatively rare complication of infective endocarditis, usually requiring invasive surgical procedures, including double valve replacement in addition to aortic root replacement/repair. In the present case report, images were produced using transthoracic echocardiograms and transesophageal echocardiograms, which may assist in the planning of surgical procedures. The images captured using real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiograms revealed aorto-mitral discontinuity and a perforated mitral valve aneurysm of the anterior leaflet.
