title: Intra-atrial thrombus in a neonate with coarctation of the aorta.
abstract: It is uncommon for thrombus to form within the heart of neonates with congenital cardiac disease. We describe a newborn with coarctation of the aorta, in whom a left atrial thrombus was discovered on the second day of life, and was thought to have been present before birth.
