Images in cardiovascular medicine. Left ventricular thrombus detected by two- and three-dimensional computed tomographic ventriculography: a new application of helical CT.

A67-year-old man presented with chest discomfort. At the age of 65 years, he had been hospitalized because of acute anteroseptal myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography and LVG were performed to evaluate his present status. The LVG revealed LV aneurysm. An LV thrombus at the apex was suspected (Figure⇓, A). By use of a new application of helical CT with contrast enhancement, ie, CT-VG, an LV aneurysm and the apical thrombus were demonstrated by both 2D and 3D CT-VG (Figure⇓, B …
