Figures

Fig. 1
Fig. 1
Transthoracic echocardiogram (parasternal long-axis view) shows a large pseudoaneurysm (PsA) arising from the aorta and lined by intramural thrombus (arrowheads). The pseudoaneurysm compresses both ventricular cavities. The arrow points to the mitral valve. Ao = aorta; LA = left atrium; LV = left ventricle; RV = right ventricle

Fig. 2
Computed tomogram of the chest (cross-sectional view) shows a large, narrow-necked pseudoaneurysm (arrow) arising from the ascending aorta and lined circumferentially by intramural thrombus.
Fig. 3
Fig. 3
Contrast-enhanced computed tomograms (3-dimensional reconstruction) show a large pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta in A) coronal and B) sagittal views. AscAo = ascending aorta; PsA = pseudoaneurysm
