Thrombectomy for left ventricular protruding thrombi in a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy.
Left ventricular thrombus is one source of cardiogenic embolism. The protruding, mobile type is the highest risk subgroup but is rarely encountered. Thrombectomy is one choice of therapy, and variously recommended based primarily on the experience with myocardial infarction. We report a rare case of successful left ventricular thrombectomy for two protruding, mobile thrombi in a patient with id...

Introduction: Most current evidence suggests the risk of left atrial and or auricular thrombi(LA &LAA) in patients with atrial flutter rhythm is similar to patients with atrial fibrillation, but there is still uncertainty in the risk level and the patient's need to receive anticoagulant therapy. Different studies report various frequencies for atrial thrombi and left atrial spontaneous echo-con...

Accepted for publication 29 April 1991 Abstract Objective-To determine the value of transoesophageal echocardiography in the assessment of selected patients at risk of cardiogenic embolism or after it. Design-Prospective comparison of the results of transoesophageal and transthoracic echocardiography. Transoesophageal echocardiography was performed with a 5 MHz single plane phased array transdu...
متن کاملExclusion of atrial thrombus by transesophageal echocardiography does not preclude embolism after cardioversion of atrial fibrillation. A multicenter study.
BACKGROUND Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has been used recently to detect atrial thrombi before cardioversion of atrial arrhythmias. It has been assumed that embolic events after cardioversion result from embolism of preexisting atrial thrombi that are accurately detected by TEE. This study examined the clinical and echocardiographic findings in patients with embolism after cardioversi...
متن کاملTreatment options for patients with mobile left ventricular thrombus and ventricular dysfunction: a case series
INTRODUCTION Little is known about the optimal management of large, mobile, pedunculated left ventricular clots. The management is particularly challenging in patients with advanced heart failure considered for left ventricular assist device implantation, because the clot may cause pump thrombosis. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients with left ventricular thrombi ident...
