Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We report on a patient who was referred for percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy for symptomatic mitral stenosis. However, transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography both revealed a large mobile left atrial thrombus, occupying almost half of the left atrial body. Because the patient strongly declined surgical mitral treatment, he was administered warfarin for 2 years. Complete resolution of left atrial thrombus was confirmed by follow-up transesophageal echocardiography. Successful percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy was undertaken without complications. |
