We present the case of a 75-year-old man with incidental finding of a left ventricular false chamber at echocardiography. A multimodality imaging approach including also transesophageal echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging allowed to better characterize the lesion and identify it as a pseudoaneurysm. Surgery showed an infective aetiology, which is rare, due to the finding of a large abscess in the cavity.
我们报告一例75岁男性患者,其在超声心动图检查时偶然发现左心室假腔。采用多模态成像方法,包括经食管超声心动图和心脏磁共振成像,有助于更好地对病变进行特征性描述,并将其确定为假性动脉瘤。手术显示病因是感染性的,由于在腔内发现一个大脓肿,这种病因较为罕见。
