Computerized tomography scan and transoesophageal echocardiography. (A) Sub-epicardial contrast medium without remaining visible left ventricular wall structure. (B) Communication of the defect with the left ventricular cavity. (C) Trans-gastric left ventricular view with the communication between the left ventricle and the sub-epicardial cavity visible (right with colour Doppler). (D) Very thin interventricular septum under the aortic valve with somewhat hyperdense echo signal (subendocardial fibrosis?).
