| Abstrakt: | Left atrial (LA) dissection is an uncommon entity that occurs most often after mitral valve surgery. We present a case of a 52-year-old man who developed an LA dissection after repair of a postinfarction left ventricular (LV) aneurysm. Transesophageal echocardiography was used to establish the diagnosis of an LA dissection that almost completely occluded the LA, limiting LV filling and causing hemodynamic instability.
