Implication

Suggests a potential imaging advantage for monitoring clot resolution; leaves open whether routine 3DT.

Key Points

Assess the clinical utility of live three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography for evaluating the morphology, apical attachment, and internal resolution of a left ventricular thrombus.
Acquired live three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiographic images to view a left ventricular thrombus end-on and from the sides.
Performed sequential digital cropping across transverse, longitudinal, frontal, and oblique planes to evaluate internal clot architecture.
Live three-dimensional imaging comprehensively delineated the thrombus morphology and its exact site of attachment within the left ventricular apex.
Multiplanar sequential cropping enabled detailed visualization and assessment of the degree and extent of internal clot lysis during resolution.
