Abstract
This report describes a case of cardiac rupture following acute myocardial infarction accurately diagnosed by transesophageal color Doppler echocardiography, which showed a very narrow transmural tract from the left ventricle into the pseudoaneurysm cavity. Such a small, slitlike rupture would most likely have been missed by an otherwise routine transesophageal examination, and we stress the importance of color Doppler interrogation in its accurate diagnosis.
