Multimodality imaging in the diagnosis and management of prosthetic valve endocarditis: A contemporary narrative review

Figure 4 Transesophageal echocardiogram in a patient with mitral valve replacement endocarditis with 3D-reconstruction. Sixty-six year-old male with a history of coronary artery bypass graft and mitral valve replacement three years before presenting with Enterococcus Faecalis endocarditis. Transesophageal echocardiogram demonstrated severe structural degeneration of the mitral valve replacement with attached vegetation (A: Arrow). Color Doppler analysis demonstrated a large jet arising from the leaflet body consistent with prosthetic leaflet perforation confirmed by 3D-reconstruction (B-D).
