Abstract

Left ventricular (LV) thrombi occur in about onethird of patients who have had an acute myocardial infarction (AMI).^1,2 Autopsy³ and echocardiographic studies^1,2 suggest that patients with protruding and mobile LV thrombi are at risk of systemic embolization. Kremer et al⁴ reported the successful use of urokinase for lysis of protruding and mobile LV thrombi during AMI but no further reports followed this initial communication. We report the effect of urokinase on mobile LV thrombi in a patient with AMI.
