Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A left ventricular thrombus was successfully removed after broad anterior myocardial infarction in a 58-year-old woman, using video-assisted thoracoscopy via minimally invasive port access. Through a right minithoracotomy, a left ventricular thrombus behind the papillary muscles and trabeculation were completely visualized with the aid of thoracoscopy, and removed without difficulty. This approach seems to be a useful alternative to a left ventriculotomy, avoiding the resultant compromised left ventricular function. |
