AI Article Synopsis

  • The case discusses a patient with a narrowed biological mitral valve prosthesis and a blood clot in the left atrium.
  • It highlights how Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) can effectively evaluate biological heart valves.
  • The findings emphasize the comprehensive diagnostic capabilities of CMR in complex cardiac situations like this one.

Article Abstract

We report the CMR findings of a patient with stenotic biological mitral valve prosthesis that was complicated by thrombus formation in the left atrium. The case illustrates the ability of CMR to assess biological prosthetic valves and to provide a comprehensive diagnostic approach in this clinical scenario.
