Major Anaesthetic Challenges during Minor Surgery: A Case of Ventricular Thrombus
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Dear Editor, Ventricular thrombi can develop more frequently in individuals with certain underlying conditions, the most common being post-myocardial infarction and dilated cardiomyopathy [1]. Their occurrence without underlying cardiac disease is unusual, and these thrombi are often identified incidentally [2]. We present the anaesthetic approach for a 48-year-old male undergoing emergency incision and drainage of a 5×5 cm carbuncle on the back of the neck, who was incidentally diagnosed with a large Left Ventricular (LV) thrombus.
