Severe Mitral Regurgitation and heart Failure due to Caseous Calcification of the Mitral Annulus

, 2011
Caseous calcification is a rare form of mitral annular calcification. Echocardiography reveals an echodense mass in the inferior mitral annulus with smooth borders and an echolucent inner core.

Chronic kidney disease and valvular heart disease: State of the art

Physiological Reports, Volume 13, Issue 18, September 2025.
Abstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and valvular heart disease (VHD) frequently coexist and are associated with a significant increase in morbidity and mortality. Their interplay is complex and multifactorial, involving shared pathophysiological mechanisms such as chronic inflammation, mineral and bone disorder, vascular and valvular calcification ...

Mitral Annular Caseous Calcification: A Rare Variant of a Common Echocardiographic Finding Discovered with Advanced Imaging Techniques

Case Reports in Medicine, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
We present the case of a 90‐year‐old diabetic male and medically managed three‐vessel coronary artery disease with evidence of an oval, nonmobile echo‐density located on the posterior mitral valve annulus measuring two centimeters in diameter without significant impingement of the mitral valve on initial screening echocardiogram which was initially ...

The role of computed tomography in the differential diagnosis of an intracardiac mass of the mitral valve: a case series

Digital Diagnostics
The differential diagnosis of an echocardiographically detected intracardiac mass in the mitral annulus can be challenging and usually requires a multimodal approach.

First Experience With a Novel Self‐Expandable Valve for Mitral Annular Calcification Guided by Three‐Dimensional Printing

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 105, Issue 4, Page 855-860, March 1, 2025.
ABSTRACT Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) may emerge as a surgical alternative for high‐risk patients with severe mitral annular calcification (MAC), yet several questions remain to be addressed. We present the case of a 67‐year‐old high‐risk female patient with severe MAC (MAC score = 8) and mitral stenosis (effective orifice area = 121.3

Caseous Calcification of the Mitral Annulus Leading to Symptomatic Mitral Stenosis

, 2021
Caseous calcification of the mitral annu-lus (CCMA) is a rare variant of mitral annular calcification, which can be difficult to diagnose and can be misdiag-nosed as a cardiac tumour or abscess. Multimodality imaging is important for the diagnosis of

Percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty with shockwave lithotripsy for the treatment of calcific mitral valve stenosis

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 104, Issue 2, Page 356-364, August 1, 2024.
Abstract Background Calcific mitral stenosis (calcific MS) presents a challenge for surgical treatment and is a contraindication for most contemporary transcatheter mitral valve replacement devices (TMVR), rendering patients with very limited therapeutic options.

Porcelain Atrium: A Case Report with Literature Review

Case Reports in Radiology, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011
Massive left atrial wall calcification, or porcelain atrium, is very rare. We describe a case of an unusual pattern of cardiac calcification demonstrated on routine preoperative chest X‐ray for cataract surgery in a 71‐year‐old Nigerian woman. Past medical history was significant for mitral stenosis and atrial fibrillation.

A Spotlight on Liquefaction: Evidence from Clinical Settings and Experimental Models in Tuberculosis

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011
Liquefaction is one of the most intriguing aspects of human tuberculosis. It is a major cause of the transition from the infection to active disease (tuberculosis, TB) as well as the transmission of M. tuberculosis to other persons. This paper reviews the natural history of liquefaction in humans from a pathological and radiological point of view and ...
