Video 9.1
Transesophageal view of the heart showing large left atrial myxoma obstructing the mitral valve orifice. Now you may imagine the origin of the “tumor plop” auscultatory sign which many people read about and very few actually heard (AVI 26,757 kb)
Video 9.2
Papillary fibroelastomas on aortic valve leaflets as seen on transesophageal echocardiogram (AVI 16,416 kb)
Video 9.3
Massive cardiac sarcoma protruding from the right ventricle (upper chamber) through the tricuspid valve and into the right atrium as seen on the RV inflow view on transesophageal echocardiogram (AVI 20,827 kb)
Video 9.4
Apical four chamber view showing layered LV apical thrombus. Please notice akinetic LV apex as predisposition to the thrombus formation (AVI 18,016 kb)
Video 9.5
Large right atrial thrombus on a transesophageal echocardiogram (AVI 9976 kb)
Video 9.6
3D TEE images of the right atrial thrombus shown in video 26. 3D imaging shows the complex structure and mobility of the thrombus (AVI 4871 kb)
