Fig. 1 Two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography showed severe atherosclerotic plaque of the aortic arch and highly mobile mass on it (arrow). Because the mass lesion was disappeared with two weeks of anticoagulation therapy, we assessed that mass might be thrombus.
Fig. 2 Real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography revealed highly mobile masses (arrow) on the severe atherosclerotic plaque of the aortic arch.
