Fig 1 (A) Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). (B) Long-axis TEE view showing prosthesis dysfunction. (C) Doppler trace showing high (12 mm Hg) mean transvalvular gradient. (D) A hydrophilic floppy guidewire successfully crossed the mitral bioprosthesis from the transseptal approach and was then externalized with a Gooseneck snare into the left ventricle. (E) Implantation of a 26-mm SAPIEN XT valve. (F) Final color Doppler TEE showing mild paravalvular regurgitation.
