4 lip 2023 · Left ventricular thrombi can embolize to the brain or any other body organ causing fatal events. Aortic mural thrombi have high chances of embolization and a higher incidence of limb loss. Mesenteric ischemia, renal infarction, vision loss, myocardial infarction are other rare complications.
Left ventricular thrombus is a blood clot in the left ventricle of the heart. LVT is a common complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). [1] [2] Typically the clot is a mural thrombus, meaning it is on the wall of the ventricle. [3]
The diagnosis of left ventricular thrombus is of potential clinical importance in identifying patients at risk for systemic embolization. Over the past years, several sophisticated methods capable of detecting thrombus have been developed.
Left ventricular (LV) thrombus is a feared complication of LV dysfunction associated with high rates of systemic embolism, morbidity, and mortality. Traditionally, LV thrombus has been associated with acute myocardial infarction (MI).
Left ventricular (LV) thrombus development following acute myocardial infarction is driven by the elements of Virchow’s triad: endothelial injury, blood stasis, and hypercoagulability. Each of these components further serves as a therapeutic target in the treatment and prevention of left ventricular thrombus following acute myocardial infarction.
15 wrz 2022 · Studies using echocardiography have historically identified mural LV thrombi to be associated with a lower risk of embolism compared with protuberant or mobile LV thrombi. 23,82 Despite a lack of correlative pathological imaging studies, mural thrombi detected by imaging are often considered organized (and thus with lower thromboembolic ...
Aneurysms led to left ventricular dysfunction with local stasis predisposing to intraventricular thrombosis and thromboembolism. Early on, the most used diagnostic test for the identification of left ventricular thrombi (LVT) was contrast ventriculography.
