.... Abstract Background Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is characterized by severe calcification of mitral annulus and might be associated with both mitral regurgitation and stenosis. It is technically challenging for both surgical and percutaneous approach and is burdened by high mortality. Case...

... dissection often occurs in the posterior annulus of the mitral valve, which is also a favourable site for mitral annular calcification (MAC). We herein report a rare case of spontaneous left atrial dissection caused by a disruption of MAC. Case summary An 84-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital...

... [email protected] Abstract Background Caseous mitral annular calcification (MAC) is an under-diagnosed division of calcific mitral valve disease that has recently been reported to have increased propensity for embolic disease. Early recognition of this entity as a cause of embolic disease can lead...

... in Table  1 . Mitral annular calcification (MAC) refers to calcium deposition in the fibrous skeleton of the mitral valve. It has an asymptomatic course in the majority of cases and therefore is often incidentally detected on cardiovascular imaging, such as echocardiography and cardiac computed...
