Abstract
- A 66-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction and renal infarction. Further examination indicated that she was suffering from mitral valve stenosis with a floating thrombus in the left atrium. She underwent emergency mitral valve replacement and thrombectomy. The thrombus was attached to the left atrium by only four thin and weak strings and removed easily. We think that the thrombus was the precursor of a free-floating ball thrombus without stalk.
