Right parasternal long-axis view showing septal aneurysm

Note the aneurysm (defect covered by a membrane) in between the aorta and basilar interventricular septum. The arrow points to the membrane covering what would have been an interventricular septal defect (a VSD wannabee). Ao = aorta; LV = left ventricle; RV = right ventricle
