Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Background: Massive biventricular thrombi associated with myocarditis are rare and pose significant management challenges. Case presentation: A 24-year-old male from a plateau region presented with dyspnea, chest pain, and cerebral infarction/hemorrhage. Imaging revealed giant biventricular thrombi (left: 81 × 62 × 59 mm; right: 59 × 16 mm) and LVEF of 25%. Management: Multidisciplinary therapy included anticoagulation and GDMT. Outcomes: Complete thrombus resolution occurred by 10 weeks, with improved cardiac function (LVEF 48%) and no recurrent embolism. Conclusion: Drug therapy may be effective for massive biventricular thrombi in myocarditis.
