A Resected Case of Biventricular Thrombi with Cardiac Sarcoidosis / 日本心臓血管外科学会雑誌

A 59-year-old woman with a history of pulmonary and cardiac sarcoidosis was admitted to our hospital because of acute femoral artery occlusive diseases. Preoperative echocardiography showed diffuse hypokinesis and biventricular tumors. Transesophageal echocardiography revaealed mobile biventricular tumors. The tumors which consisted of organized thrombi were successfully excised. She was discharged 23 days after surgery. This suggested that hypokinesis accompanying cardiac sarcoidosis caused the biventricular thrombi.
