Core Tip	Pannus is an infrequent complication that mainly affects mechanical prosthetic valves. Its dia-gnosis requires clinical suspicion and the association of fluoroscopy, transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography. The case presented is a characteristic example of pannus, given its clinical presentation (progressive dyspnea), the steps followed to reach diagnosis and the surgical resolution. Suspecting this disorder and making an accurate diagnosis is of paramount importance, to implement adequate treat-ment and to avoid prolonging the natural course of the disease and its repercussion on the left ventricle and the quality of life of affected patients.
