case_images: The latter was confirmed at subsequent Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) describing an akinetic fibrotic and partially thrombosed cavity, suggesting an apical CVA (Figure 1), communicating with the left ventricle through a 2-centimetre defect.

case_images: An emergency angio-computed tomography scan revealed a huge thrombosed cavity communicating with the left ventricle at the apical segment (Figure 3). A postoperative angio-computed tomography scan showed no residual shunt and good restoration of the left ventricular shape (Figure 3).
