Fig. 1From: An alternative approach for complicated prosthetic aortic valve endocarditisa Preoperative TEE short axis view. Blue arrows demarcate the large abscess cavity posteriorly. Blue chevron shows the vegetations in the right atrium. The severely calcified bioprosthesis is appreciated by the yellow arrow. RA: right atrium, LA: left atrium, RV: right ventricle. b Preoperative TEE long-axis view which shows the pseudoaneurysm formed by the ruptured abscess to the LVOT. c Postoperative TEE short axis view 2Â years after surgery shows mild stenosis of the bioprosthetic aortic valve with no signs of abscess cavity or vegetationsBack to article page
