    Abstract:
    A 71-year-old woman with old cerebral infarction and arterial obstruction was admitted with the diagnosis of a free floating ball thrombus in the left atrium associated mitral stenosis. The emergent open heart operation was performed for removal of ball thrombus and mitral commissurotomy. The size of ball thrombus was 4.8 x 4.0 x 3.0 cm. Postoperative course was uneventful.
