Left ventricular thrombectomy for extensive apical thrombus

embolism, mural thrombus, thoracic surgery.Abstract
The presence of thrombi in left cavities is not frequent. Its presence in general is secondary to a damage on the heart muscle such as an acute myocardial infarction. Usually management is conservative (by anticoagulant treatment), but in the case of very extensive thrombi or embolic events, the surgical route is preferred
