We report herein a patient in whom a very large and old thrombus in the left atrium was detected by transesophageal echocardiography. The patient started warfarin and aspirin. After 2 years of therapy, transesophageal echocardiography showed the complete resolution of thrombus in the absence of clinical evidence of embolism. This case indicates that large and presumably organized thrombi may be dissolved by an anticoagulant therapy, although the lytic activity of warfarin has never been demonstrated. Transesophageal echocardiography helps in the identification and follow-up of such conditions and contributes to understanding of warfarin action in left atrial thrombosis.
