  Figure 1 Transthoracic echocardiogram in para-sternal long axis showing coaptation deficit of the mitral valve. LA: left atrium, LV: left ventricle.

• 

  Figure 2 Transesophageal echocardiography mid-esophageal view, 0°, showing the mitral valve with a rudimental posterior mitral leaflet adherent to the LV posterior wall (blue arrowhead) and elongated anterior mitral leaflet (red arrowhead). LA: left atrium, LV: left ventricle.

• 

  Figure 3 Three-dimensional short-axis view of the mitral valve showing hypoplastic posterior mitral valve leaflet (red arrowhead) and elongated myxomatous anterior mitral valve leaflet (AMVL).
