Fig. 1 Transthoracic echocardiography. Apical 4 chamber view revealed two oscillating masses with smooth, spherical contour were found in the LV apex (A). The size of masses were estimated 22 by 29 mm and 14 by 18 mm respectively. On the 8th hospital day, follow-up echocardiography revealed partial resolution of thrombi with resultant highly movable friable remnants (B). One the 18th hospital day, follow-up echocardiography revealed nearly complete resolution of thrombi (C). LV: left ventricle.
