The transcatheter management of complex cardiovascular diseases has significantly evolved, offering less invasive alternatives to traditional surgical interventions. In this report we describe 2 cases of patients who developed ascending aortic pseudoaneurysms soon after coronary artery bypass grafting. With meticulous computed tomography angiography planning and with live intracardiac echography, these patients underwent successful transcatheter repair using a 6/4-mm Amplatzer Duct Occluder II (Abbott) vascular plug.

A 72-year-old woman underwent left bundle branch area pacing, and subsequent transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated potential septal lead perforation. Transesophageal echocardiography revealed an intracardiac mass, which resolved with anticoagulation. This case highlights left ventricular thrombus as a potential complication of septal lead perforation.

Cardiac myxomas are the most common primary intracardiac tumors and are histologically benign. However, they are potentially dangerous because of the risk of systemic embolism. Echocardiography is the key diagnostic tool for atrial myxomas, allowing for the identification of the tumor, as well as determining its location, shape, size, and connections with adjacent cardiac structures.

A 77-year-old man with multiple comorbidities presented with cough, dyspnea and nonspecific malaise. Chest computed tomography revealed a mass in the right lower lobe of the lung, along with an associated hypodense lesion in the left atrium. Echocardiography showed a mobile mass in the left atrium, initially suspected to be a thrombus.
