We describe two patients with free-floating left atrial ball thrombi with no evidence of cardiac disease except atrial fibrillation. One patient had experienced an embolic stroke, and the second patient had a history of stroke and peripheral thromboembolism. In each patient, the thrombi, which were not visible on transthoracic echocardiography, were detected by transesophageal echocardiography. Each patient underwent successful surgical removal using cardiopulmonary bypass.
我们描述了两名患有游离性左心房球形血栓的患者，除房颤外无心脏病证据。一名患者曾发生过栓塞性中风，另一名患者有中风和外周血栓栓塞病史。在每名患者中，经胸超声心动图未发现血栓，而经食管超声心动图检测到了血栓。每名患者均在体外循环下成功进行了手术摘除。
