We report a case of left ventricular apical thrombus induce embolic
stroke in patient with stress cardiomyopathy. In this case, although we
initiated anticoagulant treatment after finding apical thrombus on time,
stroke occurred. However, favorable clinical results were achieved with
prompt percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy after early suspicion and
accurate diagnosis. This case emphasized the need for a follow-up
echocardiography during SCMP recovery period to evaluate possible
complications such as LV thrombus.
