Abstract
In a patient with mitral stenosis, transthoracic echocardiography revealed a left atrial appendage thrombus. A repeat study performed after 4 weeks of oral anticoagulant therapy demonstrated the disappearance of the left atrial clot. These findings were subsequently confirmed by transesophageal echocardiography which also revealed left atrial spontaneous contrast echoes.Keywords
