| Abstrakt: |
A patient is described in whom an aneurysm of the posterior mitral leaflet caused severe mitral incompetence and cardiac failure. The aneurysm was seen as an additional echo-free space within the left atrium in the real time two dimensional echocardiogram. Both echocardiographic and cineangiocardiographic appearances were misinterpreted initially because the aneurysmal leaflet did not more into the left ventricle during diastole. This feature was explained during the successful surgical repair of the valve by the observation that the aneurysm was adherent to the left atrial wall. |
