Video 6.1
Show images of a 12 year old aortic bioprosthesis. The prosthetic aortic leaflets are significantly thickened and calcified consistent with degenerative valve changes (AVI 17063 kb)
Video 6.2
Color Doppler flow shows turbulent flow across prosthesis consistent elevated gradients (AVI 11626 kb)
Video 6.3
Example of a paravalvular aortic prosthetic valve regurgitation as viewed from left atrium using 3D transesophageal imaging (AVI 1060 kb)
Video 6.4
Shows a patient with St. Jude mitral prosthesis with prolonged subtherapeutic INR. Video shows a stuck prosthetic disc resulting in significant mitral stenosis (AVI 12449 kb)
Video 6.5
Apical 4 chamber view showing a laterally located paravalvular mitral prosthetic valve regurgitation (AVI 1170 kb)
Video 6.6
Parasternal long axis image showing an anteriorly located (adjacent to aorta) paravalvular mitral prosthetic valve regurgitation (AVI 6249 kb)
Video 6.7
Transesophageal image of mechanical tilting disc mitral valve with irregular mobile masses on the left atrial surface of the prosthetic valve consistent with vegetations (AVI 10292 kb)
Video 6.8
Parasternal long axis view of a aortic prosthesis with a circumferential dehiscence from the aortic annulus; the aortic prosthesis has migrated superiorly into the aortic sinuses and ascending aorta; note the echo free space from the edge of the prosthesis to the aortic annulus representing dehiscence space (AVI 2421 kb)
Video 6.9
Color Doppler image (right) of video 6.8 showing presence of a flow from the aortic root into the left atrium consistent with a fistulous tract (AVI 3803 kb)
