Free-floating left atrial thrombus and systemic embolization.
A patient with mitral stenosis and systemic thromboemboli is presented. Two-dimensional echocardiography demonstrated a spherical thrombus floating freely within the left atrium which was corroborated by postmortem examination. This case is unique in its clinical outcome and provides insight into the pathogenesis of such left atrial thrombi.
متن کاملA Free - Floating Ball Valve Thrombus in the Left Atrium: Diagnosed Clinically and by Trans Thoracic Two - Dimensional Echocardiography
A Free-floating ball valve thrombus in the left atrium is a rare clinical entity and has been reported infrequently in Indian literature despite the high incidence of Rheumatic mitral valve stenosis. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention are mandatory otherwise it may lead to catastrophic consequence. We are presenting our experience with one such case which was diagnosed clinically ...
متن کاملEchocardiographic findings of floating thrombus in left atrium.
We describe the M-mode and two-dimensional echocardiographic findings of a floating thrombus in the left atrium. Though the features resembled those of pedunculated left atrial myxoma, two-dimensional echocardiography was helpful in differentiating between thrombus and myxoma in the left atrium.
متن کاملFree Floating Left Atrial Thrombus Disappearing during Echocardiography
An 82-year-old woman with a history of previous cerebral infarction and atrial fibrillation was hospitalized with aphagia. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed a dot-like high signal intensity in the left occipital subcortex. With a working diagnosis of acute cerebral infarction due to cardiac emboli, trans-thoracic echocardiography (TTE) was performed. The TTE showed an oval shaped, mobile ...
متن کاملComparison of two and three dimensional transthoracic versus transesophageal echocardiography in evaluation of anatomy and pathology of left atrial apendage.
OBJECTIVE Our objective was the comparison of combined utility of two-dimensional (2D) transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and three-dimensional (3D) TTE versus 2D and 3D transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in evaluation of anatomy of the left atrium appendage (LAA) and for clot formation in LAA. BACKGROUND 2DTEE as semi-invasive method has been for a long time used to visualize the LAA. ...
