| Popis: | A 75-year-old male presented with exertional angina and breathlessness. The coronary angiogram showed disease affecting the left anterior descending and circumflex. Echocardiographic (echo) findings were predominantly P2 prolapse (video 1). On the three-dimensional (3D) echo there is obvious prolapse of the middle scallop of the posterior leaflet, no chordal rupture is seen; however, two rounded structure seen at the free edge of the posterior leaflet are indicative of chordal elongation (video 2). He underwent coronary artery bypass grafting × 2 and mitral … |
