The ventricular side of the prosthetic valve could be observed before the mitral valve was removed. Not only the protruding circular calcification and displacement of the prosthetic valve to the atrial side but also the loss of adhesion and adhesive nature of the annular tissue played a definitive role in the late PVL occurrence and recurrence after percutaneous or surgical repair.
