Comments The arrow points to a post-ischemic "diverticulum" of the inferior i.v. septum, which communicates with the right ventricular cavity (with minimum left to right shunt). The exam was performed as re-evaluation of a fibro-calcific aortic mixed valvulopathy (prevalent moderately severe aortic stenosis). There is a mitral valve mechanical prosthesis (Sorin). 
La freccia indica un "diverticolo" post-infartuale del setto i.v. inferiore, che comunica con la cavita' ventricolare destra (minimo shunt sinistro-> destro).L'esame e' stato eseguito per controllo di una steno-insufficienza valvolare aortica fibro-calcifica a prevalente componente di stenosi di grado moderatamente severo. E' presente una protesi meccanica (Sorin) valvolare mitralica.
