Images A and B: A 68-year-old male with mitral valve repair + 34 mm annuloplasty ring for severe mitral regurgitation secondary to P2 mitral valve prolapse in 2016. Follow-up in 2019 demonstrated a new finding of moderate, eccentric and anteriorly directed jet of mitral regurgitation (*) secondary to a leaflet co-aptation defect. The left ventricle was mildly dilated by indexed volumes with normal left ventricular systolic function (biplane ejection fraction: 61%). The patient was asymptomatic without any reduction in exercise tolerance. The patient remains on 12 month follow-up. LV: left ventricle, RV: right ventricle, LA: left atrium, RA: right atrium
