Postinfarction left ventricular aneurysm and ventricular septal defect assessed by precordial and transesophageal echocardiography

Postinfarction ventricular septal defect is a life-threatening disorder that may be adequately treated if the diagnosis is obtained promptly. Two-dimensional color Doppler echocardiography is a reliable tool for this diagnosis and gives additional information regarding its location, size, and shape. The authors emphasize the feasibility of this method to depict a particular form of postinfarction interventricular septal rupture, which developed an aneurysm inside the right ventricular cavity. Its characteristics were completely defined by color Doppler echocardiography and confirmed at surgery. (ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY, Volume 13, May 1996)
