Abstract:
A patient underwent mitral valve replacement because of mitral insufficiency secondary to bacterial endocarditis. Early postoperatively, routine examination with "color Doppler" correctly identified the presence of a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm. To our knowledge, this is the first case of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm diagnosed by this new technique.
