Left atrial ball valve thrombus in restrictive cardiomyopathy and normal mitral valve: Loose cannon in heart.
Left atrial ball valve thrombus is an unusual condition, especially in patients with normal mitral valve. In the present case, we describe a 61-year-old female with restrictive cardiomyopathy who presented with a large left atrial ball valve thrombus, which subsequently embolized to right carotid artery and was treated with intravenous thrombolysis. This case provides useful insight into the ge...

Left atrial thrombus in the presence of diseased mitral valve and atrial fibrillation is a well known entity. But it is very rare to occur in the presence of normal mitral valve apparatus. We report the case of a 36 year old female who presented with left atrial ball valve thrombus and normal mitral valve apparatus and underwent surgery. This patient with gangrene of right lower limb came for c...
متن کاملLeft Atrial Thrombus in a Patient with Mitral Bioprosthetic Valve
Bioprosthetic valves are used for patients who’s conditions are unfavorable for anticoagulant therapy. A 72-year-old woman underwent operation for severe mitral stenosis and mild regurgitation in our cardiovascular surgery clinic four years ago 27 mm (this is highly unusual) St Jude to have a bioprosthesis mitral valve implanted. Surgeons chose bioprosthesis instead of a mechanical valve due to...
متن کاملLeft atrial ball valve thrombus. Treatable cause of clinical deterioration in a patient with mitral stenosis.

The attacks were noted to be closely related to posture, especially crouching, and this, with the clinical finding that the radial pulse disappeared before she lost consciousness, suggested the diagnosis of a ball valve thrombus. Cardiac catheterisation confirmed the diagnosis but ...
متن کاملStenotic mitral valve prosthesis with left atrial thrombus.
We report the CMR findings of a patient with stenotic biological mitral valve prosthesis that was complicated by thrombus formation in the left atrium. The case illustrates the ability of CMR to assess biological prosthetic valves and to provide a comprehensive diagnostic approach in this clinical scenario.
