Left atrial appendage thrombus detected by transesophageal examination with linear endoscopic ultrasound.


ABSTRACT: Linear endoscopic ultrasound (L-EUS) is mainly performed to assess pancreaticobiliary and mediastinal diseases. In this report, transesophageal observation with L-EUS revealed an LAA thrombus that was not detected by transthoracic echocardiography. This report highlights a novel potential role for L-EUS in the detection of cardiovascular diseases including LAA thrombi.
