While long-term observation is required to fully clarify whether these extraventricular ATTR amyloid deposits are truly localized outside the ventricles or are early stages of ATTR-CA infiltrating the ventricles, our 3 cases with multimodality evaluations and mid-term follow up suggest the existence of extraventricular ATTR amyloid deposits localized in the aortic valve and left atrial structures.
