Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus

Евразийский Кардиологический Журнал, 2023
Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus (CCMA) is a rare form of degenerative lesion of the mitral valve fibrous ring. It’s a biochemical transformation of calcification area accompanied with formation of masses of a curdled consistency (caseosis ...

Giant caseous mitral annular calcification mimicking ventricular pseudoaneurysm [PDF]

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, Volume 36, Issue 7, Page 2539-2540, July 2021., 2021
Abstract An 82‐year‐old woman with precordial pain at rest was admitted to the Emergency Department for possible cardiac heart disease; electrocardiogram excluded ischemia and high‐sensitive troponin was normal. Echocardiogram revealed a hyperechoic mass adjacent to the mitral annulus. Electrocardiography‐gated computed tomography (CT) angiography exam
