  • Title: Real-time 3-dimensional echocardiography demonstrates size and extent of acute left ventricular free wall rupture.
    Author: Little SH, Ramasubbu K, Zoghbi WA.
    Journal: J Am Soc Echocardiogr; 2007 May; 20(5):538.e1-3. PubMed ID: 17484998.
    Abstract:
    We describe a patient with acute left ventricular wall rupture and pseudoaneurysm formation after myocardial infarction. We review the accuracy of 2-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography for detection of ventricular pseudoaneurysm and describe the use of real-time handheld 3-dimensional color Doppler echocardiography for the assessment of left ventricular rupture location, orifice geometry, and complex intracardiac flow before surgical correction.
