Key result
Complete resection with aneurysmectomy successfully treats an 8.6-cm hypermobile LV apical thrombus.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the diagnosis and surgical management of a massive, hypermobile left ventricular apical thrombus.
May support individualized surgical resection in symptomatic massive hypermobile LV thrombi; hypothesis-generating from single case.
We present a case with a large left ventricular (LV) thrombus that presented to the emergency department with dyspnea. Bedside transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated a huge hypermobile thrombus with a maximum of 8.6 × 2 cm in size extending to the aortic valve originating from the aneurysmatic apical wall of the LV. Treatment of the patient included complete thrombus resection with aneurysmectomy.

Demirci et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Left ventricular apical thrombus (n=1). Complete thrombus resection with aneurysmectomy was evaluated. Complete thrombus resection with aneurysmectomy was performed on a patient presenting with dyspnea and an 8.6 × 2 cm hypermobile left ventricular apical thrombus.
