Abstract
We report on a patient in whom a giant thrombus in the left atrium was detected by transthoracic echocardiography. Anticoagulant theraphy was started. After two months of therapy, repeat echocardiography showed complete resolution of the thrombus. This case indicates that large and presumably organised thrombi may be treated with anticoagulant therapy.
