Imaging-led management of posterior mitral annular pseudoaneurysm: rapid evolution to post-operative surveillance on 3D-TEE

Key Points

• To evaluate the role of imaging in managing posterior mitral annular pseudoaneurysms and its evolution to post-operative surveillance.
• Utilized 3D transesophageal echocardiography (3D-TEE) for imaging
• Conducted assessments on the posterior mitral annulus
• Monitored patient outcomes post-surgery
• Successful identification of pseudoaneurysm via 3D-TEE
• Enhanced surveillance effectiveness post-operation
• Improved patient management strategies based on imaging findings
