A rare presentation of a rare problem: mitral annular calcification-related calcific amorphous tumour with cavitation and left ventricle to left atrium communication—a case report
This is the first reported case of a central coaptation defect and a left ventricle-CAT-left atrium communication, leading to severe mitral regurgitation. The potential for MAC-related CAT to cause severe complications, including catastrophic heart failure, should be recognized by the cardiology community.
