Abstract

trial fibrillation is the most common chronic arrhythmia and is associated with increased left atrial thrombus. Its presence and location have important implications in deciding on the therapeutic approach. Echocardiography is essential in establishing the diagnosis in patients with cardiac masses. Because the source of left atrial thrombus is often appendage, it may not be identified by transthoracic echocardiography. We herein demonstrated a huge left atrial appendix thrombus that was identified by transthorasic echocardiography easily.

Özet

Atriyal fibrilasyon en sık görülen kronik aritmidir ve artmış? sol atriyal trombüs ile ilişkilidir. Trombüsün varlığı ve lokalizasyonu tedavi kararının verilmesinde önemli kriterlerdir. Ekokardiyografi kardiyak kitlesi olan hastaların tanısının konmasında esas tetkiktir. Sol atriyal trombüs kaynağı genellikle apendiks olduğundan, transtorasik ekokardiyografi ile tespit edilemeyebilir. Biz burada transtorasik ekokardiyografi ile kolaylıkla gösterilen dev sol atrial apendiks trombüsünü tanımladık
