Video-assisted thoracoscopic LV thrombus removal via right minithoracotomy is feasible in Takotsubo; leaves open safety and efficacy versus conventional approaches.
Takahashi et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Left ventricular thrombus resulting from transient Takotsubo syndrome (n=1). Transmitral thrombectomy via minithoracotomy (video-assisted thoracoscopy) was evaluated on Complete removal of thrombus. Transmitral thrombectomy using video-assisted thoracoscopy through right minithoracotomy successfully and completely removed a left ventricular thrombus in a patient with Takotsubo syndrome.
