  • Title: Surgical removal of echocardiographically detected multiple pedunculated and mobile left ventricular thrombi in acute myocardial infarction.
    Author: Mager A, Strasberg B, Nili M, Levy M, Rechavia E, Sclarovsky S, Agmon J.
    Journal: Isr J Med Sci; 1989 Nov; 25(11):639-41. PubMed ID: 2592180.
    Abstract:
    Two-dimensional echocardiography revealed at least three left ventricular mural thrombi in a 59-year-old man with acute anterior myocardial infarction. The thrombi, which had highly mobile pedunculated elements, were attached to the septo-apical wall and protruded into the left ventricular cavity. In spite of the lack of a clinical event but in view of the potential risk of embolization, surgical removal of the thrombi was performed on the 16th day of hospitalization.
