Patient 2. Transesophageal echocardiography documentation of anterior cusp prolapse (red arrow) with severe intraprosthetic regurgitation. (a) Two-dimensional color Doppler; mid-esophageal modified long axis (b) three-dimensional-Zoom, aortic short axis: augmented systolic cusp excursion (c) three-dimensional zoom, aortic long axis: diastolic cusp prolapse

A two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) TOE was performed, revealing severe eccentric intraprosthetic regurgitation due to prolapse of the anterior cusp [Figure 1].
