Delayed Left Ventricular Apical Thrombus Formation Following Discontinuation of Dual Anti-Platelet Therapy

Delayed de novo left ventricular apical thrombus following a distant antero-apical myocardial infarction has to our knowledge not been previously reported. Herein we describe a patient who developed an apical thrombus 18 months after his initial infarct following cessation of dual anti-platelet therapy for a traumatic subdural haematoma requiring surgical evacuation.
