title: The fate of post-myocardial infarction thrombi.
abstract: We are reporting a patient who sustained a large myocardial infarction with large kissing thrombi in echocardiogram that disappeared within 1 month without the administration of thrombolytic, anticoagulation or antiplatelet therapy. The patient did not manifest any embolic events. This unusual course calls for specific studies on the natural history of thrombi post myocardial infarction and the best modality to treat such thrombi.
