Abstract
- The membranes of left atrial appendage (LAA) cavity are very rare entity. To date, only five cases of a membrane involving LAA have been described. In this report, we describe two different cases: in Case 1, we show image of a "real" nonobstructive membrane within the body of LAA, but in Case 2 we show a linear image, mimicking a membrane within the body of LAA. It really is a "pitfall" of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).
