Management and Follow-Up of Biventricular Thrombi

A thrombus is the most common intracardiac lesion.

description A thrombus is the most common intracardiac lesion. Isolated thrombi usually occur in the setting of ventricular dysfunction, such as a dyskinetic or hypokinetic myocardial wall, following an acute myocardial infarction (MI) or in cardiomyopathies (CM). Concurrent biventricular thrombus formation is rare. There are no clear guidelines for the treatment of biventricular thrombus. In this report, we describe our experience of the successful treatment of a case of biventricular thrombus with warfarin and rivaroxaban.
