| Abstract | A 65-year-old man was referred with refractory heart failure. A 27-mm Carbomedics bileaflet valve for mitral valve stenosis had been implanted 20 years earlier. The electrocardiogram showed atrial fibrillation with severe bradycardia (30-50/min). Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated both prosthetic leaflets opening in late diastole (Picture A, arrows), and the anterolateral leaflet intermittently remained open in early systole (Picture B, arrow; Movie I). The same finding was confirmed by cineradiography (Picture C, arrow; Movie II). Right heart catheterization demonstrated |
