Perforation of the anterior mitral valve leaflet in a patient with native mitral valve endocarditis. The transesophageal echocardiography (A and B) images show the Doppler jet traversing the anterior mitral valve leaflet (arrow) indicating a perforation. The computed tomography images (C and D) show a focal discontinuity (arrow) in the valve leaflet compatible with a perforation.
