Trombo biventricular e fibrose endomiocárdica na síndrome antifosfolípide

Left ventricular thrombus is a well reported and frequent complication associated with significantly impaired left ventricular function such as myocardial infarction with left ventricular aneurysm, myocarditis, takotsubo-and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) [1]. However, the complication of biventricular thrombi is rare and only few cases have been previously reported [2][3][4][5].Here, we report a middle-aged male patient presenting with congestive heart failure (CHF) and diagnosed with DCM, in whom biventricular apical thrombi were detected using multimodality imaging and surgically removed successfully. Case reportA 54-year-old man, who had been receiving chronic steroid therapy for organized pneumonia, was transferred to our hospital
