4 lip 2023 · Mural thrombus occurrence in a normal or minimally atherosclerotic vessel is a rare entity in the absence of a hypercoagulative state or inflammatory, infectious, or familial aortic ailments. Mural thrombi can be seen in large vessels such as the heart and aorta and can restrict blood flow.
Mural Thrombi of the Left Ventricle. John R. Stratton, M.D. Download PDF. 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.
4 lip 2023 · Mural thrombi can invade any cardiac chamber. Left ventricular thrombus is a frequent complication of acute myocardial infarction, mostly with the involvement of the cardiac apex. This thrombus can separate from the ventricle and travel through arteries, blocking any blood vessels.

A calcified LVT was defined as a persistent left ventricular mural thrombus encapsulated by thickened and calcified endocardium. Left ventricular characteristics including left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular volume, wall motion, cardiac output, and potential mechanical complications were also collected.
Twenty-two patients were found, during cardiac catheterization, to have mural thrombi in the left ventricle. Their ages varied from 40 to 72; the majority were referred for evaluation because of angina pectoris. A history of multiple infarctions was noted in 13 patients.
All studies on mural thrombi of the heart are based on postmortem studies. The purpose of the present paper is to give the clinical, hemodynamic and angiographic findings 22 patients who were in found, at the time of study, to have mural thrombi of the left ventricle. These patients win be compared to.
