Background: Open mitral operation in patients with massive left atrial thrombus still with high mortality due to intra-operative embolism. To prevent this mortality due to intra-operative embolism and to prevent this danger we practiced a surgical technique which includes careful handling of heart and obliteration of left ventricular cavity by bilateral compression.Method: We used this technique in patients of severe mitral stenosis with atrial thrombus during mitral valve replacement. Our technique was to obliterate the left ventricular cavity and thus keep the mitral cusps in a coapted position by placing gauge posterior to left ventricle and a compression over right ventricle by hand of an assistant with a piece of gauze. This obliteration prevented passage of fragments of left atrial thrombus towards collapsed left ventricle.Result: Before practicing this technique, 4 out 9 patients expired due to cerebral embolism . But after implementation of this technique in 17 patients no mortality or morbidity occurred.Conclusion: This technique of removal of left atrial thrombus during mitral valve replacement may be a safe procedure for preventing peroperative embolism.Bangladesh Heart Journal 2016; 31(1) : 26-28

AbstractHeparin-induced thrombocytopenia type II (HIT type II) can have devastating consequences in cardiac surgical patients. We report two cases of massive left atrial thrombus after mitral valve replacement and endocardial cryoablation in patients with HIT type II.

Bioprosthetic Mitral Valve

Variability exists regarding the timing and duration of anticoagulation after surgical ablation for atrial fibrillation and bioprosthetic mitral valve replacement (MVR). We report a case in which a patient developed a massive left atrial (LA) thrombus after MVR and left-sided radiofrequency ablation (LRFA). Despite acutely elevated gradients across the bioprosthetic valve, the patient remained asymptomatic and hemodynamically stable; thus, a multidisciplinary, patient-centered discussion was had and the patient was treated successfully with oral anticoagulation.
