Figure 1. (A)Parasternal long axis view of transthoracic
echocardiography (TTE) showing calcification of aortic valve extending
to the interventricular septum (arrows). (B) Continuous wave doppler of
TTE showing severe gradient in left ventricular outflow tract (C) Apical
view of TTE showing calcification. RA, right atrium; LA, left atrium;
RV, right ventricle; LV, left ventricle; Ao, aorta.
Figure 2. (A, B) Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) revealing
calcification (arrows) attached to the interventricular septum and
causing subaortic stenosis (C,D) Computed tomography showing eccentric
calcification of aortic valve. RA, right atrium; LA, left atrium; LV,
left ventricle; Ao, aorta.
Figure 3. (A, B) Intraoperative view of aortic valve and partially
resected calcification of interventricular septum. (C, D) Postoperative
TTE showing mechanical aortic valve and diminished LVOT gradient. Video
