This video clip showing two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography. Tumor mimic following mitral valve replacement. Arrowhead points to subvalvular apparatus (chordae and papillary muscle) remaining in the left ventricle following resection of the native mitral valve and replacement with a prosthetic valve. This could be misdiagnosed as tumor or vegetations (LA: left atrium; LV: left ventricle; RA: right atrium; RV: right ventricle).
