摘要：

The left atrial appendage is frequently Ligated during mitral valve surgery to decrease the future risk of embolic events. The postoperative detection of a partially occluded left atrial appendage has previously been reported with the use of transesophageal echocardiography. We describe an unusual case in which Doppler echocardiography demonstrated a remarkably high-velocity jet emanating from a partially ligated left atrial appendage.
