Persistent fifth aortic arch (PFAA) is a very rare anomaly, with an estimated incidence of 0.01%.
From the initial description in 1969 until 2023, only 104 cases have been reported in the literature.

We report a case of an MV IPT (plasma cell granuloma) in a 68-year-old woman, detected incidentally during preoperative assessment for severe aortic stenosis (AS), which was not reported on a prior TTE)

Cardiac inflammatory pseudotumors are very rare and were first described in 1975 as reminiscent of “plasma cell granulomas” located in the right atrium.
Since then, fewer than 75 cases have been reported. Involvement of the mitral valve remains very rare. bit.ly/46SFlpr

Just dropped in CASE @CASEfromASE:
"Point-of-Care TEE in Undifferentiated Cardiac Arrest in a Pregnant Patient"

Video: after ROSC, severe functional MR is found
The use of TEE for intra-arrest & post-arrest management is expanding.

Another incredible FETAL echo CASE
Intriguing possible relationship: cannibis & AV block

Cannabis crosses the placenta
May cause transient AV block in adolescents/adults
Consider cannabis after excluding other etiologies
