Thrombocytopenia Induced by Giant Atrial Thrombus in Rheumatic Valve Disease- A Case Report

We report a 52-year-old and weight of 79.36 lbs female patient with Thrombocytopenia induced by giant atrial thrombus in rheumatic mitral stenosis. The patient underwent bioprosthetic mitral valve implantation and removal of the giant thrombus. The platelet count progressively increased achieving normal levels one week after surgery.

History Of

We report a case of a 63-year-old man without a history of atrial fibrillation or mitral valve disease who was admitted to our hospital. Echocardiography revealed a large left atrial mass attached to the atrial septum. We suspected the mass to be a myxoma, but it turned out to be a large thrombus after the surgery. Left atrial thrombus without mitral valve disease or atrial fibrillation is rare. Although the degree of urgency varies based on the case, early surgical resection is recommended for a large left atrial thrombus to prevent embolism.

Permanent Atrial Fibrillation

Excess dilatation of the left atrium >60 mm is known in the literature as a gigantic atrium. This dilation is most commonly encountered in the mitral insufficiency of rheumatic etiology, but also in severe prolapses of the mitral valve, permanent atrial fibrillation, and at the leftright shunt with cardiac insufficiency. In this paper, we presented a case study of severe mitral stenosis with giant LA with LA thrombus in a 42 years old female patient. The patient underwent successful mitral valve replacement and removal of LA thrombus and discharged from the hospital with advice. Bangladesh Heart Journal 2018; 33(2) : 141-144

Valve Implantation

Abstract Left-sided double valve disease in the setting of extensive mitral annular calcifications and porcelain aorta raises multiple surgical challenges when considering an open surgical repair. We herein present the case of a 67-year-old patient with severe symptomatic aortic and mitral stenosis associated with extensive mitral annular calcifications and porcelain aorta, successfully treated by simultaneous transapical transcatheter aortic and mitral valve implantation.
