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.

D005260 Female Females
D006322 Heart Aneurysm A localized bulging or dilatation in the muscle wall of a heart (MYOCARDIUM), usually in the LEFT VENTRICLE. Blood-filled aneurysms are dangerous because they may burst. Fibrous aneurysms interfere with the heart function through the loss of contractility. True aneurysm is bound by the vessel wall or cardiac wall. False aneurysms are HEMATOMA caused by myocardial rupture. Cardiac Aneurysm,Aneurysm, Cardiac,Aneurysm, Heart,Aneurysms, Cardiac,Aneurysms, Heart,Cardiac Aneurysms,Heart Aneurysms
