Mitral balloon valvotomy and left atrial thrombus.
T he presence of thrombus in the left atrium (LA) is an important factor in the selection of cases for percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy (MBV). This is because of the danger of embolisation caused by manipulation of guidewires and balloon catheters. The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association recommendations for MBV emphasise absence of LA thrombus. Transoesophageal echoca...
متن کاملMitral atresia and occlusive left atrial thrombus.
Mitral atresia and occlusive left atrial thrombus Sir, I have been studying the Case Report on page 649 of the September I969 issue of the British Heart Journal. I would like to suggest a completely different interpretation of the anatomy. I think that the fundamental lesion may be a single atrium with atrioventricular communis, and that the 'left atrium' is actually a common pulmonary vein whi...
متن کاملSemi-continuous left atrial pressure measurements during mitral valvotomy.
or fracturing the commissures, but, as far as can be ascertained, few papers give detailed information about the merits of these pressure readings. In an earlier report from this hospital Pedersen and Tybjaerg Hansen (1953) published measurements from the left atrium in 15 cases. In 12 cases of valvotomy for mitral stenosis without significant regurgitation a decrease of pressure was recorded i...
متن کاملBalloon mitral commissurotomy for mitral stenosis after resolution of a large mobile left atrial thrombus by 2-year warfarin treatment.
We report on a patient who was referred for percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy for symptomatic mitral stenosis. However, transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography both revealed a large mobile left atrial thrombus, occupying almost half of the left atrial body. Because the patient strongly declined surgical mitral treatment, he was administered warfarin for 2 years. Complete...
متن کاملFree-floating left atrial thrombus complicating mitral stenosis.
Free-floating thrombus is a rare disorder that usually occurs in the setting of a dilated left atrium. It is an important condition because it can produce sudden death by obstructing the mitral orifice or cause embolic events. Early diagnosis and surgical treatment are mandatory.
