Electronic supplementary material

Below is the link to the electronic supplementary material.

Supplementary material 1 (AVI 304 kb) Video 1. Transthoracic echocardiography with color flow imaging showed flow acceleration through LVOT

Supplementary material 2 (AVI 603 kb) Video 2. Two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography with transducer array at 120° revealed that the hyperechogenic mass on the ventricular side of the mechanical mitral valve caused LVOT obstruction

Supplementary material 3 (AVI 156 kb) Video 3. Real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiographic visualization of the mechanical mitral valve (MMV) from left atrial view demonstrated eccentric pannus overgrowth anteriorly localized on the ventricular side of the MMV

Supplementary material 4 (AVI 111 kb) Video 4. Real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiographic visualization of the mechanical mitral valve (MMV) from left ventricular view revealed pannus overgrowth as a secondary circular feature on the ventricular side of the MMV

Supplementary material 5 (AVI 573 kb) Video 5. Transthoracic echocardiography with color flow imaging showed normal LVOT flow pattern after pannus resection
