Abstract:
Left atrial thrombi are common in severe mitral stenosis. Sixteen cases of severe mitral stenosis were studied. . All these patients had transthoracic echo (TTE) followed by biplane transesophageal echo (TEE). Only two patients were in sinus rhythm. Left atrial clot was identified in eight out of fourteen patients who were in Atrial Fibrillation, on TEE, while TTE could detect clot in one patient only.
