Abstract

We present the apparently unique transoesophageal cross-sectional echocardiographic features of a mycotic aneurysm of the left ventricular outflow tract communicating with an abscess in the anterior free wall of the left ventricle. Precordial echocardiographic studies had been hampered by the interposition of an aortic valve prosthesis.

Key Words: Transoesophageal cross-sectional echocardiography • mycotic aneurysm.
