title: Stenotic mitral valve prosthesis with left atrial thrombus.
abstract: We report the CMR findings of a patient with stenotic biological mitral valve prosthesis that was complicated by thrombus formation in the left atrium. The case illustrates the ability of CMR to assess biological prosthetic valves and to provide a comprehensive diagnostic approach in this clinical scenario.
