Abstract
- Cardiac papillary fibroelastomas are associated with a high risk of systemic embolization in spite of benign nature. We report a case of 85-year-old patient with left supraclinoid internal carotid artery occlusion who treated with aspiration thrombectomy. Despite of the absence of residual mass on echocardiography, we could analyze pathologic specimens using retrieved embolus and confirmed cardiac papillary fibroelastoma as a rare cause of stroke.
