case_images: TTE revealed a large pericardial effusion with a diastolic collapse of the right ventricle, matching with cardiac tamponade, on abdominal echo, no intra-abdominal fluid was detected (Figure 1). The cardiothoracic team took over and he was brought to the Operating room (OR) for emergency sternotomy.
case_images: Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography. (a) Mid-esophageal four-chamber view showing a ruptured papillary muscle of the tricuspid valve seen as an echo dense structure connected to the flail tricuspid valve (arrow) and (b) modified mid-esophageal four-chamber view focused on the tricuspid valve in biplane mode showing massive tricuspid valve regurgitation with color Doppler (arrows).. LA: left atrium; RA: right atrium; LV: left ventricle; RV: right ventricle.
