  • Title: Regression of large atrial thrombi and coronary neovascularizations with conventional anticoagulation in mitral stenosis--a case report.
    Author: Al-Bezem R, Kwan T, Clark LT.
    Journal: Angiology; 1999 Oct; 50(10):859-63. PubMed ID: 10535726.
    Abstract:
    The authors report a case of angiographically documented multiple coronary neovascularizations originating from the left circumflex artery (LCX) and coursing toward multiple thrombi located in the left atrium in a patient with severe mitral stenosis. The thrombi as well as the neovascularizations underwent near-complete resolution with 4 weeks' anticoagulation therapy with warfarin maintaining an international normalization ratio of 3.5. Percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty was performed successfully without complications.
