Left atrial thrombus despite continuous oral anticoagulant therapy
- Department of arrhythmology, The Middle Slovak Institute for Cardiovascular Diseases, Banská Bystrica, Slovakia
Left atrial thrombus may be detected by transoesophageal echocardiography in patients with atrial fibrillation despite continuous anticoagulation therapy. We would like to introduce a case report of a patient treated in our hospital, in whom ischemic stroke occurred despite effective anticoagulant treatment.
