Cross-sectional echocardiographic demonstration of biventricular thrombus.
Nine months following extensive myocardial infarction, a 60-year-old man presented with intermittent right heart failure. Cross-sectional echocardiography demonstrated biventricular thrombi, the right ventricular thrombus being very close to the tricuspid valve and possibly interfering with its function. Post-mortem examination confirmed the echocardiographic findings.
