  • Title: Left ventricular thrombectomy using video-assisted thoracoscopy.
    Author: Tanaka K, Sakaguchi T, Chikazawa G, Totsugawa T, Yoshitaka H.
    Journal: J Card Surg; 2013 Mar; 28(2):117-9. PubMed ID: 23350791.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of a 40-year-old male who had a left ventricular thrombus with impaired cardiac function. The thrombus was completely removed using a video-assisted thoracoscopy via a right mini-thoracotomy. This approach is less invasive, avoiding sternotomy and ventriculotomy which can cause postoperative complications.
