Abstract
Preoperative diagnosis of intracardiac formations is very difficult. Often they debut with ischemic events in various arterial pools. The most common include intracardiac thrombosis and tumors (mainly) myxomas. In the vast majority of cases, left ventricular thrombosis is a consequence of an extensive myocardial infarction and occurs in the forming aneurysm of the heart wall. Floating parietal thrombus of the left ventricle due to intracardiac infection is a very rare diagnostic finding. The article presents a clinical observation of successful surgical treatment of a 39-year-old patient with non-valve infectious (Staph. aureus) thromboendocarditis, which debuted with multiple emboli of the internal organs and brain.
Keywords: infective endocarditis, surgical treatment, thrombosis, stroke, intracardiac infection, arterial multiple embolism.
