  • Title: Chronic stage left ventricular aneurysm and thrombus after myocardial infarction.
    Author: Murakami M, Takaki A, Nishida M, Okada H, Hamano K.
    Journal: Blood Coagul Fibrinolysis; 2006 Sep; 17(6):489-90. PubMed ID: 16905954.
    Abstract:
    A 60-year-old man had acute myocardial infarction 13 years ago. After percutaneous coronary intervention, the follow-up left ventriculography (8 years ago) showed dyskinesia in the anterolateral and apical segments of the wall. Following this, there was no change in the clinical symptom. After 6 years the patient discontinued aspirin without seeking medical advice. In this year, a thrombus was found in the left ventricle, and thrombectomy was performed. Left ventricular aneurysm has always been a risk for thrombogenesis in any stage, and a periodic follow-up including an echocardiogram and anticoagulation therapy is necessary.
