ABSTRACT
This is a case of a 34-year-old male patient who presented to the emergency department (ED) with severe left flank pain. Due to the patient's cardiac history, elevated troponin, lactic acidosis, and lack of renal calculi on a noncontrast CT, focused cardiac ultrasound was performed, which showed left ventricle thrombus. The patient was later found to have bi-interventricular thrombi causing both pulmonary embolism and renal infarction. This is an uncommon diagnosis in the ED, where point-of-care ultrasound helped in diagnosing and guiding the management and disposition of this case.
