The large left ventricle (LV) mass on intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (mid esophageal aortic valve, long axis view). Please note its position during diastole (a), systole (b), left ventricular chamber after its removal (d), and limited blood flow around it in color Doppler imaging (b). The mass was classified as a myxoma in histopathologic examination (c).
