Figure Lengend Snippet: Detaching the vegetation at the pedicle. ( A , B ) Transesophageal echocardiogram at 120° 3-chamber view shows that a 15-mm Goose Neck snare snugly captured (yellow arrows) the mitral vegetation at the base of the pedicle in diastole and systole. ( C ) Fluoroscopy image of the Goose Neck snare with a 7F Judkins–right guide catheter through the Agilis sheath catching the vegetation that was attached to the atrial surface of the anterior cusp of the 25-mm MITRIS RESILIA bioprosthetic valve (yellow arrow). Ao, aorta; LA, left atrium; LV, left ventricle.
