Abstract
This is a report of an unusual case of left, predominantly upper lobe, pulmonary edema secondary to paravalvular mitral regurgitation (MR) complicating mitral valve replacement. Transesophageal echocardiography proved helpful in making the diagnosis of MR and suggesting the mechanism of the pulmonary edema.
