ABSTRACT
Left Ventricular Thrombus (LVT) formation after acute myocardial infarction is a serious complication. And the most feared complication of LVT is the systemic thromboembolic events, especially to the brain. Nowadays patients with acute myocardial infarction are treated with primary PCI and more aggressive anticoagulation therapies, resulting in the lower incidence of LVT. Early detection of LVT is very important, and echocardiography is the definitive test for detecting intracardiac thrombus. However, the need for serial echocardiography remains controversial. In this case report, we describe a 55-year-old man with major trauma induced LVT after acute myocardial infarction who underwent successful therapy.
