[Aneurysm of the interatrial septum and right-to-left shunt during biventricular infarction. Diagnosis by transesophageal echocardiography].
A right-to-left shunt during infarction with right ventricular extension is a rare and recently described complication. It results from opening of a foramen ovale due to increased right heart pressures. The authors describe another case occurring in a patient with an interatrial septal aneurysm, the diagnosis of which was made by transoesophageal echocardiography.
