  • Title: Antiphospholipid antibodies and intracardiac thrombosis. A case report.
    Author: Brancaccio G, Di Gioia C, Prifti E, D'Amati G, Michielon G, Miraldi F.
    Journal: J Cardiovasc Surg (Torino); 2002 Aug; 43(4):479-82. PubMed ID: 12124558.
    Abstract:
    The antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) has been associated with multiple cardiac abnormalities. The present report describes a case of right ventricle thrombus in a 51-year-old woman with a history of autoimmune haemolytic anemia and antiphospholipid antibodies. Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated the presence of a right ventricle mass, mimicking a myxoma. She underwent open heart removal of the mass and was started on indefinitely anticoagulant therapy. At 2 years follow-up she was free of symptoms.
