Interventional Removal of LV Thrombus in a Patient With Cardiogenic Shock and Transitory Ischemic Attack

We discuss a 38-year-old bodybuilder who had cardiogenic shock and multiorgan failure. The patient developed significant speech disorders resulting from thromboembolism of a huge, volatile left ventricular thrombus. Because of inoperability and the threat of severe ischemic stroke, the thrombus was...

Sumario:We discuss a 38-year-old bodybuilder who had cardiogenic shock and multiorgan failure. The patient developed significant speech disorders resulting from thromboembolism of a huge, volatile left ventricular thrombus. Because of inoperability and the threat of severe ischemic stroke, the thrombus was removed with a snare and application of a cerebral embolic protection device. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
