Abstract

Mitt al stenosis and atrial fibrillation are well-known risk factors for left atrial and left atrial appendage thrombus. On the other hand moderate to severe degree mitral regurgitation is often associated with a decreased risk of left aliial thrombus. In this case repoit, we present a giant loft atrial thrombus in a patient with depressed systolic function, atrial fibrillation and severe mitral regurgitation.

Özet

Mitral darlığı ve atriyal fibrilasyon, sol atriyum ve sol atriyum apendiksi içinde trombus gelişimi için açık olarak ortaya konmuş risk faktörleridir. Orta-ciddi mitral yetmezliği ise trombus gelişimi riskini azaltmaktadır. Bu yazıda ciddi mitral yetmezliğine sahip, düşük sistolik fonksiyonları ve atriyal fibrilasyonu olan bir hastada gelişen dev sol atriyal trombus sunulmuştur.
