We made this TEE-vid for about 2 weeks. Actually we made a new TEE-evaluation: that structure is still there; no change in echocardiagraphic view. I think it is a "old" vegetation. Thanks a lot!
about 80 y old patient with congestive heart failure and sepsis with pulmonary focus (gram-stain: gram-positive cluster coccal).
In TEE we found a floating structure an posterior leaf of mital valve. not typical for active endocarditis. What could it be? We thought it could be a residual of a former endocarditis or a calcified residual of tendon of papillary muscle.
What do you think?
Thanks for comment!
