A) The device (bracket) is visible inside the left ventricular cavity, and the reverberation artifact is indicated by the arrowhead. B) The outflow graft–descending thoracic aorta anastomosis (arrows) is visible behind the left atrium.

Ao = descending thoracic aorta; G = graft; LA = left atrium; LV = left ventricle
