About Video

This video clip shows three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography of a thrombus in transit through a patent foramen ovale. Multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) mode. The green box (upper left panel) shows the LA, LV and left atrial appendage (LAA). The red box (upper right panel) shows the LAA at the level of the red line in the green box (upper left panel). The aorta (AO) is also seen. The blue box (lower left panel) shows a short-axis view of the LAA at the level of the blue line in the green box. Three lobes (1, 2, 3) of the LAA can be seen free of mass.
