Abstract

Transesophageal echocardiographic visualization of left ventricular posterior aneurysms serves as a valuable tool intraoperatively in guiding management. We present a case of a 71-year-old male who presented with left ventricular pseudoaneurysm of infero-basal and posterior wall which underwent a patch closure. This paper emphasises the importance of transesophageal echocardiography in visualizing heart structures especially posterior.
