Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This case presents a 69-year-old woman with a previous history of arterial hypertension. A transthoracic echocardiogram was requested in the context of shortness of breath with great exercise. Incidentally, at the aortic valve level, a mobile mass suggestive of papillary fibroelastoma was visualized. Therefore, a complementary transoesophageal echocardiogram was performed.
