Key result
A 64-year-old woman with left ventricular apical ballooning and an apical thrombus experienced complete resolution of the thrombus and normalization of left ventricular function after 3 months of anticoagulant treatment.
Why the study?
Does phased array intracardiac echocardiography accurately quantify low temperature radiofrequency ablation lesion size compared to pathology in a canine model?

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Real-time evaluation of low-temperature RFCA lesion size using phased array ICE is feasible in vivo, though it slightly overestimates the true necrotic area by including surrounding edema.

Barrera-Ramírez et al. (2003) conducted a case report in Left ventricular apical ballooning with apical thrombus (n=1). Anticoagulant treatment was evaluated on Resolution of apical thrombus and recovery of left ventricular function. A 64-year-old woman with left ventricular apical ballooning and an apical thrombus experienced complete resolution of the thrombus and normalization of left ventricular function after 3 months of anticoagulant treatment.
