We presented a 28-year-old man with myocardial infarction with an apical mass detected by echocardiography. Compared with routine imaging using a phased transducer array, linear transducer arrays were used in two-dimensional and contrast echocardiography to enhance apical visualization and successfully demonstrated the shape and blood perfusion of apical thrombus with precision. We successfully explored the feasibility of imaging the apical thrombus with a linear transducer array.

Objective: To determine the clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic profile of patients with left intraventricular thrombus (LVT) in three high-complexity centers in Medellín, Colombia, between January 2000 and January 2022.
Materials And Methods: This was an observational and cross-sectional study that included 307 patients with LVT. Hospital records were analyzed to identify the clinical and therapeutic profile, and thrombus resolution and systemic embolism were evaluated.

Unlabelled: A 93-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with complaints of pain and coldness in both lower legs. He was diagnosed with arterial occlusive disease of the lower extremities. There were no obvious stenosis or occlusion of lower extremity arteries, which would be indications for surgery, and drug therapy was started.

Background: Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is characterized by transient left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and wall motion abnormalities without culprit coronary artery disease. LV thrombus (LVT) formation during the acute phase is a fearsome complication.
Objectives: To identify factors associated with LVT and its prognostic impact in TTS patients.

Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is traditionally described as chronic peripheral eosinophilia with involvement of various organs and systems, including the heart and nervous system. In this report, we describe cardiac involvement and border zone stroke in a patient with idiopathic HES. A 37-year-old woman presented with sudden right-sided weakness and slurred speech, which began four days before admission, accompanied by palpitations, retrosternal exertional chest discomfort, dry cough, and progressive shortness of breath over approximately two months.

Background: Left ventricular unloading is needed in patients on extracorporeal life support (ECLS) with severely impaired left ventricular contractility to avoid stasis and pulmonary congestion, and to promote LV recovery. The presence of thrombi in the LV precludes the use of conventional active unloading methods such as transaortic microaxial pumps or apical LV vents. We describe placement of a vent cannula via the left atrial appendage (LAA) as a useful bailout option.
