a Color Doppler imaging of transthoracic apical 3-chamber view displays the neck of the pseudoaneurysm near the mitral annulus. Systole frame shows blood flow from left ventricular into the pseudoaneurysm (blue flow). b Continuous wave doppler shows the systolic filling of pseudoaneurysm and the diastolic emptying into the left ventricular chamber (systolic velocity of 3.0 m/s and diastolic velocity of 1.7 m/s)
