Regression of intracardiac thrombus after embolic stroke.
Using two-dimensional echocardiography, we studied the pathophysiology of intracardiac thrombus regression accompanied by anticoagulant therapy in 82 consecutive patients with acute cardiogenic cerebral embolism. We noted intracardiac thrombus in 15 patients; nine of the 15 were started on anticoagulant therapy with warfarin potassium to maintain the prothrombin time between 2.5 and 3.5 (intern...
متن کاملBenign Disappearance of Ventricular Thrombus After Embolic Stroke
The source for a patient's middle cerebral artery territory embolic stroke was found by echocardiography to be a left ventricular cardiac thrombus. The apical mass was large, pedunculated, and moved with systole into the ventricular cavity. The absence of ventricular dyskinesia was thought to favor a tumor, and surgery was considered before repeat echocardiography showed disappearance of the ma...
متن کاملIncidental Thrombus in Transit Causing Embolic Stroke
Thrombus in transit leading to paradoxical systemic arterial embolism is a rare echocardiographic finding in patients presenting with embolic stroke. We present a case of a patient who had an atrial thrombus in transit discovered incidentally and later suffered a fatal stroke. Etiologies of cardioembolic stroke and the use of echocardiography in diagnosis and management are briefly discussed.

متن کاملIntracardiac Thrombus in Renovascular Hypertension: A Case Report
Thromboembolism is a rare complication of primary nephortic syndrome. Both venous and arterial thrombosis might occur in steroid responsive and steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome. This is the report of an infant with nephrotic syndrome and renovascular hypertension, complicated with asymptomatic intracardiac thrombus and managed appropriately with medical treatment.
