| echo12807-sup-0001-MovieS1.avivideo/avi, 6.3 MB | Movie clip. S1. Transesophageal echocardiography mid-esophageal long-axis view, showing the pseudoaneurysm with a pulsatile motion, posterior to the aortic root with extension to the mitral valve in the intervalvular mitro-aortic fibrosa. The calcified immobile aortic valves can be seen, and adjacent in the LVOT is the entry site of the pseudoaneurysm. |
| echo12807-sup-0002-MovieS2.avivideo/avi, 1.7 MB | Movie clip S2. Transesophageal echocardiography mid-esophageal long-axis view with color Doppler, showing the pseudoaneurysm with turbulent flow on color Doppler, filling during the systole through a small communication site at the level of the LV outflow tract. |
| echo12807-sup-0003-MovieS3.avivideo/avi, 2.3 MB | Movie clip S3. Transesophageal echocardiography mid-esophageal short-axis view at the level of the LVOT (immediately under the aortic valve) with color Doppler, showing the pseudoaneurysm with turbulent flow on color Doppler, filling during the systole and emptying during diastole. |
