Echocardiographic left ventricular (LV) flow analysis was performed with vector flow mapping (VFM) in a 48-year-old asymptomatic patient with prior mitral valve replacement by bi-leaflet prosthesis in 2013.Streamlines in Panel A show the consequence of trans-prosthetic mitral inflow directed towards the septum: the development of a dominant posterior vortex showing counter-clockwise …
