    Author: Tanaka Y, Nie M, Yamamoto N, Ohara K, Miyaji K.
    Journal: Heart Vessels; 2016 Aug; 31(8):1389-92. PubMed ID: 26266631.
    Abstract:
    We experienced a case involving a left ventricular ball-like thrombus caused by severe following a 150 mile cycling road race. The patient had lower-limb arterial obstruction due to systemic thromboembolism on admission with no significant embolism, including the cerebral arteries, were detected. Left ventricular wall motion was good with no evidence of left and right coronary artery occlusion; therefore, we performed emergency left ventricular thrombectomy. Although there are many reports of left ventricular thrombus following acute myocardial infarction, dehydration is a very rare cause. Herein, we describe the surgical and management approaches to the treatment of left ventricular thrombectomy in this case.
