Abstract

A 50-year-old woman visited a previous hospital because of aphasia. She was diagnosed as having cardiogenic embolism and left ventricular thrombus. Anticoagulant therapy was performed but was unsuccessful because of hypermenorrhea due to the myoma of the uterus. She was transferred to our hospital to receive surgical treatment. After uterine myomectomy, we performed video-assisted transaortic left ventricular thrombectomy. Her postoperative course was uneventful. Left ventriculotomy has been the standard approach for left ventricular thrombectomy. However, this approach carries a risk of ventricular dysfunction. We report our experience of a successful outcome with video-assisted transaortic left ventricular thrombectomy, thereby avoiding a left ventriculotomy.
