A "Ping-Pong" left atrial thrombus mimicking left atrial myxoma: A case report.

Project description:IntroductionValvular heart disease is highly prevalent, especially in developing countries. Mitral Stenosis (MS) is a condition where there is narrowing of mitral heart valve. Left atrial (LA) thrombus is often seen in severe MS patients.Case presentationA 47-year-old woman complained of palpitation and shortness of breath. The heart sounded irregularly irregular, with grade III/IV diastolic murmurs at the apex. Her electrocardiogram showed atrial fibrillation (AF) with rapid ventricular response Transthoracal echocardiography (TTE) showed severe MS, mild tricuspid regurgitation, and LA thrombus. Mitral valve replacement surgery, tricuspid valve repair, and evacuation of the LA thrombus were immediately done. We evacuated a spherical mass with a size of 4 × 3x2.2 cm, layered and easily separated. Microscopic examination showed extensive fibrin and bleeding with mononuclear inflammatory cells and macrophages, corresponding to a thrombus conclusion.Clinical discussionAtrial thrombus is common in MS patients. The incidence will increase by about two times in patients with AF. TTE is a reliable tool in diagnosing large mobile atrial thrombus and differentiated it from other cardiac masses. However, histopathological examination is still the gold standard to distinguish between LA thrombus and myxoma. Immediate thrombus evacuation and valve replacement, if needed, will give good results and reduce systemic thromboembolism.ConclusionLA thrombus is often seen in a patient with severe MS. Optimal preoperative preparation involves assessing preoperative risk stratification will give good results.

Percutaneous isolation of left atrial appendage thrombus.

Project description:Most physicians regard left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus as a contraindication for LAA occlusion due to risk of distal embolization which is a serious complication. Here we report a case of successfully implanted Amplazter cardiac plug without complication in elderly patients having LAA thrombus with recurrent embolic events despite oral anticoagulants for prevention of thromboembolic events. <Learning objective: LAA thrombus is not completely resolved in all cases and can be a potential source of stroke or embolization even during anti-coagulation. We would like to share a case that suffered from 6 strokes or embolizations despite anti-coagulation, warfarin or non-vitamin K antagonist oral anti-coagulants due to incomplete resolution of LAA thrombus. In this clinical situation, we can suggest LAA occlusion to isolate thrombus from LA and prevent further stroke or embolization.>.

A thalassaemia intermedia case with concomitant left atrial thrombus.

Project description:Although marked improvements have been observed in the life expectancy of patients with thalassaemia by regular blood transfusion and strict iron chelation therapies in recent years, these patients still have to deal with several complications, mainly cardiovascular. One of the life-threatening complications is the chronic hypercoagulable state and thromboembolic events which develop due to haemostatic alterations in patients with thalassaemia, although they are more frequently seen in those with thalassaemia intermedia. Many thromboembolic complications, mainly deep venous thrombosis and cerebral thrombosis, have been reported in thalassaemia. However, intracardiac thrombosis is rarely seen. In this manuscript, we presented a case that underwent splenectomy 6?years ago but not regularly attended the control visits and presented to our clinic with gradually increasing exercise dyspnoea for 2?months.
