Figure 1. (A) The 10×8 mm-sized and 15×7 mm-sized vegetations (arrows) on AMVL and PMVL, respectively. A 13×9 mm-sized, a 21×8 mm-sized, and a 14×11 mm-sized vegetations on the LCC, RCC, and NCC of the AV, and 10 to 22 mm-sized multiple vegetations in diameter were also found on the 3 leaflets of the TV. (B) Surgically resected AV, MV, and TV showing severe destruction with multiple vegetations.
A = anterior leaflet; AMVL = anterior mitral valve leaflet; AV = aortic valve; LCC = left coronary cusp; MV = mitral valve; NCC = non-coronary cusp; P = posterior leaflet; PMVL = posterior mitral valve leaflet; RCC = right coronary cusp; S = septal leaflet; TV = tricuspid valve.
