Summary

Left ventricular thrombi pose a neurological risk during surgery. An intra-aortic filter device can prevent embolisation, safeguarding patients undergoing cardiac procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Interventional Cardiology

Background:

  • Left ventricular aneurysmectomy carries a risk of neurological complications.
  • Mobile, protruding thrombi increase the risk of embolisation during cardiac procedures.

Observation:

  • A significant left ventricular thrombus was identified in a patient scheduled for complex cardiac surgery.
  • The patient required coronary artery bypass grafting, left ventricular aneurysmectomy, and thrombectomy.

Findings:

  • Neurological complications can arise from thrombus dislodgement during left ventricular luxation or incomplete removal.
  • Application of an intra-aortic filter device is a potential strategy to prevent embolisation.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering embolic protection strategies in patients with left ventricular thrombi.
