4D Flow MR Imaging Reveals a Decrease of Left Atrial Blood Flow in a Patient with Cardioembolic Cerebral Infarction after Pulmonary Left Upper Lobectomy

We present the case of a 76-year-old woman who underwent left upper lobectomy for lung adenocarcinoma. Three days after the surgery, a thrombus was observed in the pulmonary vein (PV) stump. Four months after the surgery, we performed 4D flow MRI, which revealed decreased blood flow, not only in the...

Sumario:We present the case of a 76-year-old woman who underwent left upper lobectomy for lung adenocarcinoma. Three days after the surgery, a thrombus was observed in the pulmonary vein (PV) stump. Four months after the surgery, we performed 4D flow MRI, which revealed decreased blood flow, not only in the left superior PV stump, but also over a widespread region around the left atrium-left superior PV junction. 4D flow MRI can clarify the altered hemodynamics underlying thrombus formation.
