Double orifice mitral valve is a rare congenital anomaly that is often associated with other congenital cardiac abnormalities. Patients may present with valvular dysfunction or may be asymptomatic and have an incidental diagnosis of double outlet mitral valve. Whether symptoms due to this pathology are present or not, it is important to accurately characterize this lesion. 3-dimensional imaging is a powerful diagnostic modality for diagnosing and characterizing lesions such as this as highlighted in this case image series.

Prosthetic valve endocarditis is a complication of bacteremia which can cause damage to the prosthetic valve or the tissue to which it was sewn. Extensive tissue damage can result in a loss of anchoring and allow for abnormal valvular motion. Dehiscence can lead to excessive motion of the valve which is termed rocking. Through advances in imaging technology, live 3-dimentional (3-D) transesophageal echocardiography can allow for precise identification of the location of, and amount of dehiscence. We present a 37-year old male with a rocking prosthetic valve demonstrated on 3-D echocardiography and correlated to surgical manipulation.
