Abstract

A 43-year-old woman with stroke and systemic lupus erythematosus was found to have severe eccentric aortic regurgitation. Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiogram further defined the origin of the regurgitant jet through a perforation in the left coronary cusp next to a mass with a tiny stalk attached to the left coronary cusp.
