Fig 1 (A) Simultaneous electrocardiogram and radial pressure curve recordings showing a sinus rhythm with rate of 94 bpm (upper panel) with intermittent pulse pressure drop (arrow) from plus minus 170 to 133 mm Hg in a 1:2 ratio (lower panel). (B) Continuous wave Doppler (transthoracic echocardiogram) recordings through the mitral valve prosthesis (Bjork-Shiley) showing “obstruction alternans” pattern of low-intensity prosthetic valve opening-closing signal (gray double arrow) with (near) absence of diastolic mitral valve flow (vertical arrow) alternated with the (normal) high-intensity prosthetic valve opening-closing signal (white double arrow), with increased mitral valve flow velocities (obstructive flow) (horizontal arrow). Electrocardiographic recordings (bottom) show a sinus rhythm of 90 bpm. (C) Continuous wave Doppler (transthoracic echocardiography) through the mitral valve prosthesis (Bjork-Shiley) showing normal function and gradient.

Fig 2 (Panel A) Perioperative view of the Bjork-Shiley mechanical mitral valve with fibrous overgrowth (arrow). (Panel B) Perioperative view of the Bjork-Shiley mechanical mitral valve after removing fibrous overgrowth. (Panel C) Surgically removed circumferential fibrous overgrowth.
