  • Title: Dilated cardiomyopathy complicated by a pedunculated and mobile left ventricular thrombus on ruptured false tendons.
    Author: Mukai S, Fuseno H, Nakamura M, Yoshikawa J, Shomura T.
    Journal: Chest; 1991 Apr; 99(4):1042-3. PubMed ID: 2009765.
    Abstract:
    A 68-year-old man was admitted with congestive heart failure. He was treated with diuretics and digitalis; thereafter, the two-dimensional echocardiogram suggested a pedunculated and mobile left ventricular thrombus. He underwent surgical thrombectomy because of the high risk of systemic embolization. To our knowledge, this is the first case of dilated cardiomyopathy with a mobile left ventricular thrombus that was attached to ruptured false tendons.
