Key result
Two-dimensional echocardiography successfully identified a large free-floating left atrial thrombus in a patient with mitral stenosis, which was confirmed by angiography and surgery.

Can two-dimensional echocardiography identify and differentiate a free-floating left atrial thrombus in a patient with mitral stenosis?
Two-dimensional echocardiography can non-invasively identify and differentiate free-floating left atrial thrombi based on specific motion patterns.
Szkopiec et al. (1983) conducted a case report in Mitral stenosis with a free-floating left atrial thrombus (n=1). Two-dimensional echocardiography was evaluated on Identification of a free-floating left atrial thrombus. Two-dimensional echocardiography successfully identified a large free-floating left atrial thrombus in a patient with mitral stenosis, which was confirmed by angiography and surgery.
