Abstract

Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is a degenerative process that occurs mostly in older patients, especially in women. This process is also more common in patients with end-stage renal failure. Mitral valve dysfunction and the other complications including atrial fibrillation, thromboembolic events and atrioventricular blocks increase in proportion to the intensity of calcification. We herein present a mitral annular calcification that two- dimensional transthoracic echocardiography showed massive mitral annular calsification while three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography didn’t detect any severe mitral dysfunction.

Özet

Mitral anüler kalsifikasyon çoğunlukla yaşlılarda özellikle de kadınlarda görülen mitral kapağın dejeneratif değişikliğidir. Son dönem böbrek hastalığı olanlarda da sık gözlenir. Kapak disfonksiyonu ve atriyal fibrilasyon, tromboembolik olaylar ve atriyoventriküler blok gibi diğer komplikasyonlar mitral anüler kalsifikasyonun yoğunluğu ile orantılı olarak artmaktadır. Biz burada iki boyutlu ekokardiyografinin yoğun mitral anüler kalsifikasyon görüntü vermesine rağmen üç boyutlu transözefajial ekokardiyografide kapakçıklarda ciddi anormallik yapmayan mitral anüler kalsifikasyon olgusunu tanımladık.
