Key result
Combined surgical thrombectomy and ablation resolve LV thrombus from tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy without 1-year recurrence.
Why the study?
Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy resulting from atrial tachycardia and complicated by left ventricular thrombus formation is rare, warranting a case report with literature review.
Case Report (n=1)
This case demonstrates that tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy can rarely cause left ventricular thrombus and systemic embolization, which can be successfully managed with surgical thrombectomy and catheter ablation.
Illustrates LV thrombus risk in atrial tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy; leaves open optimal thromboprophylaxis strategies.

Nakata et al. (2025) conducted a case report in Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy with left ventricular thrombus (n=1). Left ventricular thrombectomy and ablation was evaluated. Urgent surgical thrombectomy combined with surgical and subsequent catheter ablation successfully treated a rare case of left ventricular thrombus caused by tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy, with no recurrence at 1 year.
