title: Huge left atrial thrombus with mitral stenosis in congenital factor XII deficiency.
abstract: Factor XII deficiency has been reported to be a risk factor for thromboembolism as a result of inactivation of fibrinolysis. We describe a case of a huge left atrial thrombus with mitral stenosis, which was successfully removed surgically in a Factor XII deficient patient.
