Usefulness of contrast agents in the diagnosis of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm after acute myocardial infarction.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The diagnosis of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm after acute myocardial infarction is usually based on echocardiography. However, this technique may have limitations in some patients, especially in cases with suboptimal acoustic window. The objective of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of contrast echocardiography in the diagnosis of left ventricular pseudoaneu...
متن کاملContrast Enhanced Echocardiography for Detection of Intrapulmonary Shunts in Liver Transplant Candidates
Background: Intrapulmonary vascular abnormalities associated with liver cirrhosis may result in intrapulmonary right-to-left shunt and hypoxemia. The aim of this study was to use contrast enhanced echocardiography to detect intrapulmonary vascular abnormalities in patients with liver cirrhosis candidates for liver transplantation. Methods: One hundred and two adult patients underwent contrast e...
متن کاملGargantuan pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle.
Three months after combined mitral and aortic valve replacement, a 74-year-old woman presented with New York Heart Association grade II to III dyspnea. She had regular sinus tachycardia (109 bpm), and her blood pressure was 90/55 mm Hg. Routine echocardiography showed normal left ventricular ejection fraction and normal functional status of mitral and aortic valve prosthesis. However, late syst...
متن کاملLeft ventricular outflow tract false aneurysm late after aortic valve replacement.
We describe an unusual case of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) pseudoaneurysm late after aortic valve replacement. A 77-year-old man, who had undergone aortic valve replacement with mechanical prosthesis 7 years ago, presented, asymptomatic, with a transesophageal echocardiography (TTE) diagnosis of a large cavitary mass arising behind the aortic wall. The orifice of the pseudoaneurysm wa...
متن کاملAdvantages of colour flow imaging in the diagnosis of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm.
Eleven cases of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm in nine patients were studied by cross sectional echocardiography, conventional Doppler echocardiography, and colour flow imaging. In two patients recurrent pseudoaneurysms developed after cardiac surgery, three had acute rupture after myocardial infarction, two were the result of stab wounds, one was a late rupture of a true left ventricular aneu...
