[HSF] Aortic Valve Mass

[Edward Bender]

Here is a TEE picture of a pedunculated mass attached to the aortic  
valve somewhere in the vicinity of the left-right commissure.  No  
signs or symptoms of endocarditis.  Patient is a 50 year old female  
smoker with unexplained sinus tachycardia.  No aortic insufficiency,  
trace mitral insufficiency, normal EF.  What do you think this is?
