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.

(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.
