Abstract:
We report two unusual cases of left atrial wall dissection creating a left atrial pseudoaneurysm associated with regurgitation a few months after mitral valve replacement. We emphasize the important role of transesophageal echocardiography in the diagnosis. The two patients successfully underwent surgery.
