This case demonstrates that a large left atrial thrombus can rarely develop in a neonate following sustained SVT and can be successfully managed with anticoagulation.
Hypothesis-generating for anticoagulation in neonatal post-SVT thrombus; prospective studies needed before practice change.
Left Atrial Thrombus is uncommon in neonates. We present a neonate who had Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (PSVT), whose echocardiography revealed a large left atrial thrombus which resolved later with treatment. Supra Ventricular Tachycardia (SVT) is not an uncommon event in infants with an incidence of 1:2500.
