We describe the use of vector flow mapping ( VFM ), a novel echocardiographic technique allowing intracardiac flow visualization, to quantify flow intensity inside a left ventricular aneurysm in a 68‐year‐old man. VFM successfully identified areas of stagnant flow corresponding to the wall region where a thrombus had been formed.
