Left atrial wall dissection is uncommon. We present this rarity with transesophageal echocardiography in a 71-year-old female diagnosed with infective endocarditis three months following mitral valve repair, which along with the surgical intervention, may have contributed to the dissection.
左心房壁夹层分离并不常见。我们通过经食管超声心动图展示了这一罕见病例，患者为一名71岁女性，在二尖瓣修复术后三个月被诊断为感染性心内膜炎，二尖瓣修复手术连同感染性心内膜炎可能是导致夹层分离的原因。
