  Fig. 1 Transesophageal echocardiography (A and B) and cardiac magnetic resonance (C) demonstrated membranous ventricular septum aneurysm bulging toward the right ventricle. Color Doppler revealed blood flow directly from the left ventricular cavity into the aneurysm through small ventricular septal defect (B). LA: left atrium, LV: left ventricle, RV: right ventricle, A: aneurysm of the membranous interventricular septum, Ao: aorta.
