Ping Pong Ball in a Hefty Heart: A Case Report

Opening of the article

We describe here a very unsual case of a large free floating left atrial thrombus due to critical mitral stenosis detected by incidental echocardiography, in whom symptoms and complications of thrombus were absent. The patient’s only symptom was mild dysponea attributed to smoking. She had no syncope or arrhythmia induced embolic event. Owing to nan-availability of cardiothoracic facility, she was given anticoagulant therapy which resulted in intracerbral haemorrahge and death.
