Abstract
We report the case of a 28 years old female patient operated for mitral valve replacement. The baseline postoperative transthoracic echocardiography at 8 weeks after surgery revealed an anechoic addition image of the basal segment of LV posterior wall with a discontinuity between the posterior wall and the plane of insertion of the mitral mechanical valve measuring 26x17 mm. It seems to be limited by the pericardium, filled by color Doppler in diastole and empties in systole very suggestive of LV pseudoaneurysm. The patient was referred to cardiac surgery for surgical repair.
