Abstract

Aneurysm of the membranous portion of the ventricular septum and accessory valvular tissue are two infrequent congenital lesions. This case illustrates a rare association of aneurysm of the membranous septum and accessory valvular tissue originating from the mitral valve, causing right-sided ventricular outflow tract obstruction in a patient with corrected transposition. Multiplane transesophageal echocardiography allowed for determination of the dual nature of the obstruction.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.
