Fig 1 Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiogram midesophageal long-axis view demonstrates restrictive mitral valve leaflets (Carpentier type IIIb) with moderate mitral regurgitation before Perceval valve (LivaNova, London, United Kingdom) implantation as shown in (Left) two-dimensional and (Right) color Doppler ultrasound.

Fig 2 Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiogram midesophageal long-axis view after Perceval valve (LivaNova, London, United Kingdom) implantation demonstrates impingement of the Perceval valve on the anterior mitral valve leaflet, poor leaflet coaptation, and exacerbation of mitral regurgitation in (Left) two-dimensional and (Right) color Doppler ultrasound.
