IMPLICATIONS. We report incidental findings of aortic valve fibroelastomas during routine intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography examination in cardiac surgery. Preoperative echocardiography failed to identify this potentially devastating pathology. The echocardiographic features of this lesion are reviewed, and the importance of diligence and complete examination are emphasized.
