TEE (midesophageal aortic valve short-axis view) showing severe AS

This image of the aortic valve short axis view shows a heavily calcified aortic valve in the center of the screen. Note the bright and poorly mobile leaflets that result in a narrowed aortic valve orifice. Also note that the significant calcification of the aortic valve results in artifacts that limit visualization of the right ventricle and right ventricular outflow tract below the aortic valve in the image.
