Figure legends
FIGURE 1 .Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrating cardiac
blood cyst. A . The apical four-chamber view shows that a size
of 19 x 19mm cyst attached to the left ventricular posterior papillary
muscle and anterior mitral valve, the cyst wall is smooth with visible
echogenic calcification. B. Cyst slightly blocked the left
ventricular outflow tract. C and D. The apical
two-chamber view shows that the cyst was attached to the papillary
muscle and anterior mitral leaflet.
LA=left
atrium; RA=right atrium; LV=left ventricle; RV=right ventricle; APM=
anterior papillary muscle; PPM=posterior papillary muscle.
FIGURE 2 . Transesophageal echocardiography and intraoperative
of the blood cyst. A. A balloon-like cyst sizes of 28×29mm
attached to the anterior mitral leaflet located in the left ventricle
(*). B. Cyst led to the mild left ventricular outflow tract
obstruction and turbulence of blood flow in systolic. C. A cyst
mass (arrow) was seen in the left ventricle during operation, 40×30mm in
size. The cyst attached to the anterior mitral leaflet, the base was in
the posterior papillary muscle, and multiple chordae attached to the
cyst. D. Surgical excises of the cyst and the wall rupture, it
contained brown fluid which is old blood. LA=left atrium; RA=right
atrium; LV=left ventricle; AO= aorta.
