The increase in cancer procoagulant and tissue factor levels, endothelial damage, and stasis due to compression are among the most accused causes of thrombosis in cancer patients. Hypereosinophilia is a rare condition that causes endothelial damage leading to thrombosis. <s...
متن کاملIntra-cardiac thrombus resolution after anti-coagulation therapy with dabigatran in a patient with mid-ventricular obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a case report
INTRODUCTION Although dabigatran, a novel oral anti-coagulant, has been approved for the prevention of thromboembolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation, the efficacy of dabigatran for the resolution of established intra-cardiac thrombi has not been validated.

متن کاملSuccessful Medical Management of a Left Ventricular Thrombus and Aneurysm Following Failed Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction
We report the case of a patient with an extensive anterior myocardial infarction complicated by left ventricular systolic dysfunction, left ventricular apical thrombus and an apical left ventricular aneurysm following failed thrombolysis. We obtained serial two-dimensional echocardiograms at short intervals in the acute phase and also during the months of recovery and follow up. The patient was...
متن کاملTransapical aortic valve replacement through a chronic apical aneurysm.
Transapical aortic valve replacement through an apical aneurysm is traditionally contraindicated because of the risk of severe systemic embolization when thrombi are present. However, a chronic fibrotic aneurysm without apical thrombi carries a low risk of distal embolization and can be safely employed for a transapical transcatheter aortic valve replacement in case of absence of an alternative...
متن کاملFour Years of Altering Neurological Symptoms: A Rare Case of a Massive Left Ventricular Thrombus in the Absence of Any Symptomatic Cardiac Disease
Cerebral Thrombemboli with left ventricular origin are occasionally seen in patients with post-infarction left ventricular aneurysm or dilatative cardiomyopathy of non-ischemic cause. Freedom of medical history of cardiac disease and corresponding symptoms may delay the proper diagnosis, particularly in patients with distinct neurological symptoms and normal findings in electrocardiogram or cer...
