case_images: TTE showed a mass containing thrombus in the LA and a suspicious endocardial orifice beneath the root of the PML on the LV. CT revealed contrast filling the mass cavity.

case_images: Enhanced Computed tomography (CT) revealed the contrast filling the mass cavity, indicating intramural hematoma. (Figure 1) Left atrial dissection caused by parasitic infestation was suspected.
case_images: The procedure of patch repair for defect of LV, MV and MA. (2) To reach the orifice, we direct incised the P2, and cut through the posterior MA. (3) An ellipse-shape autologous pericardial patch was employed to reconstruct the defect of the LV and MA. (4) After reaching the proposed neo-annulus line, the rest of the ellipse was used to augment the PML.
