Resolution of severe secondary mitral valve regurgitation following aortic valve replacement in infective endocarditis [PDF]
We present the case of a patient with infective endocarditis anesthetized for replacement of severely regurgitant aortic valve. Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography revealed a new diagnosis of severe secondary mitral regurgitation.
