We report the case of a 60-year-old patient who underwent orthotopic heart transplant 14 years earlier. Routine echocardiography showed giant masses in the left atrium. There were no symptoms or thromboembolic events in the past. Magnetic resonance imaging study revealed very enlarged left atrium (8.7 × 10.6 cm) occupied by irregular smooth mass (7 × 5 × 6.1 cm) with a stalk that was attached to the posterior left atrial wall in the area of graft suture lines. Intraoperative examination revealed a massive thrombus (12 × 10 cm) that filled almost the entire left atrial area.
我们报告一例14年前接受原位心脏移植的60岁患者。常规超声心动图显示左心房有巨大肿块。患者既往无任何症状或血栓栓塞事件。磁共振成像研究显示左心房显著增大(8.7×10.6厘米),被一个不规则的光滑肿块(7×5×6.1厘米)占据,该肿块有一个蒂,附着于移植缝线区域的左心房后壁。术中检查发现一个巨大血栓(12×10厘米),几乎占据了整个左心房区域。
