چکیده

Abstract LV thrombus is a complication of AMI. It estimated that 40-60% patients with large anterior wall MI will develop thrombus. The risk highest during the first 3 months following Accurate and timely detection important as it poses high for thromboembolic events. Advances in technology have improved rate intracardiac thrombi, but several uncertainties still remain regarding optimal treatment strategy within daily clinical practice. We report case 61-year-old male extensive MI. A man, hypertension, former smoker, subjected to epatic orthotopic transplant HCC treated immunosuppressive therapy (Everolimus), development lymphocytic leukemia fu. He underwent thoracic ct, wich showed hypodense imaging left ventricular apex referable thrombotic formation 2cm, endocardial rim hypointense like ischemic outcomes.

Coronary angiography subocclusion involving second tract descending (99%) critical coronary stenosis third right (70%). completely removed surgically through atriotomy, prevention embolization due dimension, motility labile docking station. histological examination nature mass. International guidelines agree on recommending anticoagulation affected by thrombosis.

Surgical Extirpation of Apical Left Ventricular Thrombus in Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy

We report a patient with takotsubo cardiomyopathy who underwent surgical resection of apical left ventricular thrombus. A 59-year-old woman was transferred to our hospital in shock with hypothermia and diabetic ketoacidosis. The electrocardiogram showed ST segment elevation, while echocardiography revealed a reduced ejection fraction with apical and midventricular akinesis. Emergency coronary a...

Left Ventricular Thrombus.

Left ventricular thrombus (LVT) is a frequent complication in patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction (MI) and in those with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). The clinical importance of LVT lies in its potential to embolize. The current treatment of patients with acute MI centers on reperfusion, and although controversial, the incidence of LVT complicating acute anterior MI is probably r...

Left ventricular apical diseases

There are many disorders that may involve the left ventricular (LV) apex; however, they are sometimes difficult to differentiate. In this setting cardiac imaging methods can provide the clue to obtaining the diagnosis. The purpose of this review is to illustrate the spectrum of diseases that most frequently affect the apex of the LV including Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy, LV aneurysms and pseudoan...
