N.C re-formatted the article and J.D. submitted the final version of the article. J.T., S.S., T.P., and K.P. critically reviewed the article and were instrumental in the evaluation and management of the patient. J.D. and F.P. performed the mitral valve replacement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
