Color Doppler Diagnosis of Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm

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 v...

Zusammenfassung:	A patient underwent mitral valve replacement because of mitral insufficiency secondary to bacterial endocarditis.

To our knowledge, this is the first case of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm diagnosed by this new technique.
