Abstract
Reports of left atrial ball thrombus without mitral valve disease are few. We experienced a case of free-floating left atrial ball thrombus that developed in a short period in a patient with atrial fibrillation and dilated left atrium but intact mitral valve. Surgical removal of the thrombus was performed. It was presumed that atrial fibrillation and enlarged left atrium were the contributory factors to thrombus development.Entities:
