Echocardiography before discharged showed good prosthetic MV position and functions (Fig. 1).
(A) Echocardiography reveals multiple large vegetation at the edges of prosthetic MV (arrow); (B) Small vegetation at aorta (arrow); (C) multiple small undulating mass attached to septal tricuspid leaflet (arrow); and (D) MV detachment with left ventricular inflow obstruction (arrow).

Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography showed prosthetic mechanical MV with mild perivalvular leakage and periannular abscess (Fig. 2 a,b,c). Serial echocardiography revealed detachment of prosthetic MV with left ventricular inflow obstruction (Fig. 2D).
