Magnetic Resonance Imaging Diagnosis of Left Atrial Abscess After Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation Gilbert H.L. Tang, MD, MS, Amit Pawale, MD, Grant R. Simons, MD, Paul E. Stelzer, MD The Annals of Thoracic Surgery Volume 96, Issue 4, Pages 1473-1475 (October 2013) DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2012.08.121 Copyright © 2013 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

Fig 1 Magnetic resonance imaging of the thorax in (A) axial and (B) sagittal views demonstrates the presence of a mass (*) in the posterior left atrium (LA) between the confluence of left and right pulmonary veins. There was no evidence of pneumomediastinum or perforation of the esophagus. (LV = left ventricle.)

Fig 2 Intraoperative photograph shows the mass (*) in the left atrium (LA), which upon resection revealed an underlying abscess with frank pus. The attachment of the atrial wall mass is close to the orifice of the right inferior pulmonary vein (#).
