Fig. 1 In two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiogram, (A) an abnormal pouch structure (LVD) is located at the front of the left ventricular outflow tract. (B) A large muscular outpouching (LVD) is linking with the left ventricle.

Fig. 3 Three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography. (A) The LVD is located in the left ventricular outflow tract front part (at right coronary sinus level). (B) The largest cross-section of LVD is about 30∗23∗23mm. (C) The left small circle is a cross section of LVD, and the bigger one is the cross section of LV.
