A 68-year-old woman presented with an incidentally found intracardiac mass. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) showed a 26 × 8 mm mobile mass attached to a calcified posterolateral mitral annulus. The mass was removed with a commercially available percutaneous catheter system using cerebral embolic protection and TEE guidance. The pathologic examination showed caseous mitral annular calcification.
