case_images: TEE did not reveal any vegetation on the cardiac valves but did identify a pulsatile echo-free cavity, posterior and underneath the aortic valve, measuring approximately 7 mm x 13 mm (Figures 1 and 2). The cavity was recognized as a pseudoaneurysm of the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa (P-MAIVF).
case_images: TEE with color Doppler demonstrating the blood flow into the pseudoaneurysm during systole.. P: pseudoaneurysm, LA: left atrium, LV: left ventricle, TTE, transthoracic echocardiography.
