Abstract

Left ventricular thrombus is one source of cardiogenic embolism. The protruding, mobile type is the highest risk subgroup but is rarely encountered. Thrombectomy is one choice of therapy, and variously recommended based primarily on the experience with myocardial infarction. We report a rare case of successful left ventricular thrombectomy for two protruding, mobile thrombi in a patient with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy in order to prevent repeat embolizaion.
