Detailed TEE analysis (Figure 1, Supplementary video in Supplementary Material available online at https://doi.org/10.1155/2017/7576801) confirmed a presence of a 42 x 10 mm thrombus arising from the lateral wall and extending into the left ventricular outflow tract.
Intraoperative photograph demonstrates a large elongated soft pink-tan thrombus excised from the left ventricle. Due to its size, the thrombus was extracted in 2 pieces.
