A Unique Case of Mitral Valve Dehiscence Post-mitral Valve Repair Diagnosed Using 3D Transesophageal Imaging

Abstract

This is an interesting cardiovascular imaging case of a 70-year-old male who presented with heart failure symptoms after recent mitral valve repair with Carpentier-Edwards ring. Ring dehiscence was noted on transesophageal echocardiographic imaging which aided in guiding clinical and surgical courses.
