    Abstract:
    A free floating thrombus in the left atrium is a rare complication of the mitral valvular disease. A 56-year-old woman with mitral stenosis was admitted for cerebral infarction and abdominal pain. A free floating ball thrombus was detected in the left atrium by echocardiography. We performed the emergent open heart surgery for removal of ball thrombus and mitral commissurotomy successfully. The size of thrombus was 4 x 3 x 2 cm. Postoperative course was uneventful.
