This case report describes the appearance of a new homogenous mass seen in the left atrium on intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography after mitral valve repair. This "mass" was the inverted left atrial appendage. Echocardiographers need to recognize normal variants, such as an inverted left atrial appendage, to avoid misdiagnosis.
本病例报告描述了二尖瓣修复术后术中经食管超声心动图检查时在左心房发现的一个新的均匀肿块。这个“肿块”是倒置的左心耳。超声心动图检查人员需要识别正常变异情况,如倒置的左心耳,以避免误诊。
