Left atrial free floating thrombus without mitral valve disease. Review of the literature apropos of a case
1996
: 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.
