Abstract
Echocardiographic findings of dehiscent suture from mitral plication annuloplasty have not been described. We herein describe transthoracic two-dimensional echocardiographic findings of an abnormal linear echo stretching across the mitral annulus in the left atrium in a 69-year-old male. This abnormal linear echo was confirmed to be a dehiscent plication suture at surgery.
