Abstract
- A free-floating ball thrombus in the left atrium that may cause fatal systemic emboli or left ventricular inflow obstruction, which often resulting in sudden death, is rarely seen. We describe a very unusual case of a patient with a large, free-floating left-atrial ball thrombus who underwent mechanical mitral valve replacement 7 years ago.
