Atrial Thrombus

Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was performed in 114 patients with rheumatic mitral valvulardisease and its results were compared with those of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). Of 114 patients,LA thrombus was detected in 32 patients by TEE whereas TTE could detect LA thrombus in only 4 of them.Out of 32 cases, thrombus was located in left atrial appendage (LAA) in 20 (62%). TTE could detect LAAthrombus in only one patient. The procedure of TEE was well tolerated and there was no complication. Weconclude that TEE is superior to TTE in detection of LA cavity and LA appendage thrombus. Hence, TEEshould be a routine procedure to detect LA thrombus in patients with rheumatic mitral valvular diseaseprior to any surgical intervention.Key Words: Left atrial appendage (LAA), Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE),Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE)
