Fig. 1. Transthoracic Doppler echocardiography revealing severe obstruction of themechanical valve (A). The cause of obstruction could not be visualised by trans-oesophageal echocardiography (B). Multiplanar reformatted images on contrast-enhanced 64-slice multidetector CT clearly depict a circular mass (arrows) with high HU values involving both atrial (C) and ventricular (D) sides of mechanical mitral valve suggestive of pannus formation. HU: Hounsfield
