pubmed:abstractText |
Thromboembolism after percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy (PBMV) has been attributed to dislodement of preexisting thrombus during transseptal puncture and instrumentation of the left atrium. The occurrence of thromboembolic events after PBMV in the absence of demonstrable left atrial thrombus before PBMV suggests that thrombus might form during the procedure. Spontaneous echo contrast (SEC) is a swirling pattern of blood echogenicity that is a marker of blood stasis in the left atrium. Exacerbation of left atrial SEC during PBMV may be indicative of an increased thromboembolic risk.
