Early Resolution of Aortic Root Thrombosis After Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation

Figure.A: Contrast-enhanced chest CT shows aortic root thrombus with left main trunk occlusion.B: Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) reveals thrombus formation on the aortic valve cusps.C: Coronary angiography demonstrates thrombus in the coronary cusp (asterisk) and LMT occlusion (arrows).D, E: Repeated aspiration thrombectomy and circulatory support achieved reperfusion and disappearance of the thrombus in the coronary cusp.F: A large amount of thrombus was aspirated.G, H: Post-treatment CT and TEE demonstrate residual thrombus in the non-coronary cusp.I: Aortic root thrombus had resolved by the fourth day.
