Abstract

We report an unusual case of myocardial mycotic aneurysm of the left ventricle resulting from a healed myocardial abscess caused by an aortic regurgitant jet lesion. The diagnosis was made during intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography and confirmed by surgical inspection. The echocardiographic features are described.
