Left ventricular thrombosis caused cerebral embolism during venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support: A case report

Figure 1 Left ventricular thrombosis indicated by transthoracic ultrasonography. A: The long axis of the left ventricle (LV) beside the sternum indicates suspected thrombosis attached to the mitral valve; B: Apical four-chamber heart suggests suspicious attachment of thrombus to the mitral valve; C: The long axis of the LV at the apex of the heart clearly shows thrombus attached to the papillary muscle root; D: Irregular sections also confirm thrombus attachment to the papillary muscle root.
