| Thrombus in Left Atrium
|
•View of the inflow tract of the left ventricle showing a big
left atrium, a stenotic mitral valve, and the upper left
ventricle showing the anterior and posterior papillary
muscles.
•Note the severe mitral stenosis due to a healed rheumatic
valvulitis with thickened valve cusps and chordae tendinae.
The large cusp with thick chordae tendinae attached to the
posterior papillary muscle is the anterior valvular leaflet.
•The huge thrombus (2 arrows), which shows outer older light
tan layers is arising out of the auricular appendage.
