Key result
Surgical resection was urgently performed for a large, mobile left ventricular thrombus in a 57-year-old woman with normal ejection fraction, possibly linked to tofacitinib and progesterone use.
Why the study?
Left ventricular thrombus is very rare in patients with normal systolic function, prompting the report of a patient presenting abnormally with a normal ejection fraction.
Case Report (n=1)
A rare case of a large left ventricular thrombus in a patient with normal ejection fraction, potentially linked to tofacitinib and progesterone use, was successfully managed with urgent surgical resection.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Prompts vigilance for LV thrombus despite normal EF; leaves open any causal link to tofacitinib or progesterone.
Abukhodair et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Left ventricular thrombus with normal ejection fraction (n=1). Surgical resection was evaluated. Surgical resection was urgently performed for a large, mobile left ventricular thrombus in a 57-year-old woman with normal ejection fraction, possibly linked to tofacitinib and progesterone use.
