  • Title: Video-assisted transaortic left ventricular thrombectomy and coronary artery bypass grafting.
    Author: Kikuchi C, Shimada K, Nakayama K, Ohzeki H.
    Journal: Gen Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 2009 Apr; 57(4):208-10. PubMed ID: 19367454.
    Abstract:
    A 59-year-old man with cardiac dysfunction was admitted to our hospital because of thrombus formation in the left ventricle 10 days following acute myocardial infarction. Echocardiography revealed evidence of two mobile thrombi, each measuring about 2 cm in diameter. Urgent coronary artery bypass grafting and video-assisted transaortic thrombectomy were performed without making a left ventricular incision to preserve his cardiac function. Endoscopy was useful for visualizing the anatomical structures in the left ventricular cavity.
