Abstract

Left ventricular thrombosis is a frequent and potentially dangerous complication in acute myocardiac infarction, but its occurrence and adequate therapy has not been known in patients with Dor procedure for the ischemic cardiomyopathy. We report a patient, 45 year-old male, who had a new left ventricular thrombus developed after coronary arterial bypass graft, Dor procedure, and removal of the left ventricular thrombus for ischemic car-diomyopathy. Left ventricular thrombus was disappeared on the follow-up cardiac MRI following intravenous heparin injection and oral coumadin therapy. This case suggest that anticoagulation therapy may prevent patients with the severe left ventricular dysfunction and apical aneurysm and dyskinesia from developing the left ventricular thrombus, and that thrombi will resolve without clinical evidence of systemic embolism.

심근경색 후 좌심실 혈전증은 빈번하며 색전의 위험성이 있지만, 허혈성 심근증 환자에서 Dor 술식 후 좌심실 혈전증의 발생이나 치료법은 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 저자들은 45세 남자에서 관상동맥우회술과 Dor 술식 및 좌심실 혈전 제거술 후 좌심실 혈전이 재발하여 정맥내 헤파린 주사 및 경구 쿠마딘을 투여하여 좌심실 혈전의 소실이 있었기에 보고하고자 한다. 본 증례를 통해 저자들은 심첨부 심실벽의 이상운동을 가진 좌심실류가 동반된 좌심실 기능부전 환자들에서 Dor 술식 후 항응고제의 투여가 좌심실 혈전 발생의 예방 및 치료에 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
