Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en" id="echo12282-abs-0001"> <title>Mini‐Abstract</title> <p>A 75‐year‐old woman presented with typical atrial flutter. Prior to ablation, a transesophageal echocardiogram demonstrated significant spontaneous echo contrast (SEC) at the site of a large inter‐Atrial septal aneurysm (ASA). After ablation of the arrhythmia, recovery of her left ventricular function, and 3 months of therapeutic anticoagulation with warfarin, she continued to have significant SEC at the site of her ASA, implicating the ASA as the source for the SEC.</p> </abstract>
