  • Title: [Left atrial free floating thrombus without mitral valve disease. Review of the literature apropos of a case].
    Author: Trémeau G, Chapon P, Buttard P, Gayet C, Oddou B, Nicolai Y, Beurlet J, Guichard G, Milon H.
    Journal: Arch Mal Coeur Vaiss; 1996 Jan; 89(1):99-102. PubMed ID: 8678746.
    Abstract:
    Free ball thrombi of the left atrium are usually observed with mitral valve disease. The authors report the unusual case of this condition without mitral valve disease. A number of classical echocardiographic criteria suggested the precise nature of this left atrial mass before surgical excision. The diagnosis of a free ball thrombus of the left atrium should lead to urgent surgery because of the high risk of haemodynamic and embolic complications.
