Abstract
Two-dimensional echocardiography revealed at least three left ventricular mural thrombi in a 59-year-old man with acute anterior myocardial infarction. The thrombi, which had highly mobile pedunculated elements, were attached to the septoapical wall and protruded into the left ventricular cavity. In spite of the lack of a clinical event but in view of the potential risk of embolization, surgical removal of the thrombi was performed on the 16th day of hospitalization.
