    Journal: J Am Soc Echocardiogr; 2002 Sep; 15(9):1018-20. PubMed ID: 12221426.
    Abstract:
    In this article we reported a 33-year-old female patient who was referred to our emergency department with atrial fibrillation, congestive heart failure, and cardiogenic shock. In her transthoracic echocardiography, a free-floating ball-type mass was seen in the left atrial cavity with a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. An emergency open-heart surgery was performed. The mass was removed, and pathologic examination confirmed the thrombotic material.
