2. Left ventricular thrombus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_ventricular_thrombus

   [1] [2] Typically the clot is a mural thrombus, meaning it is on the wall of the ventricle. [3] The primary risk of LVT is the occurrence of cardiac embolism, [1] [4] in which the thrombus detaches from the ventricular wall and travels through the circulation and blocks blood vessels. Blockage can be especially damaging in the heart or brain .

3. Left atrial appendage occlusion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_atrial_appendage...

   This chaotic pattern of contraction can lead to reduced pumping efficiency and subsequent formation of blood clots, most notably in the left atrial appendage. [1] Over 90% of stroke-causing clots that originate in the heart in patients with non-valvular AF are formed in the left atrial appendage.

4. Thrombolysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombolysis

   Thrombolysis, also called fibrinolytic therapy, is the breakdown of blood clots formed in blood vessels, using medication.It is used in ST elevation myocardial infarction, stroke, and in cases of severe venous thromboembolism (massive pulmonary embolism or extensive deep vein thrombosis).

5. Catheter ablation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catheter_ablation

   Blood vessel damage - insertion of the catheter can also damage the blood vessels and lead to hematoma, which is a collection of blood outside the blood vessels, or vessel perforation. Infection - infections can occur at the catheter insertion site or in the heart tissue. Patients require additional treatment if infection is a complication.

6. Ventricular aneurysm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_aneurysm

   Also, blood clots may form on the inside of ventricular aneurysms, and form embolisms. If such a clot escapes from the aneurysm, it will be moved in the circulation throughout the body. If it gets stuck inside a blood vessel, it may cause ischemia in a limb, a painful condition that can lead to reduced movement and tissue death in the limb. [1]

7. Coronary thrombosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_thrombosis

   This blood clot may then restrict blood flow within the heart, leading to heart tissue damage, or a myocardial infarction, also known as a heart attack. [1] Coronary thrombosis is most commonly caused as a downstream effect of atherosclerosis, a buildup of cholesterol and fats in the artery walls. The smaller vessel diameter allows less blood ...

   An alternative to open heart surgery, percutaneous valve repair is performed on the mitral valve using the MONARC system or MitraClip system [7] Coronary thrombectomy Coronary thrombectomy involves the removal of a thrombus (blood clot) from the coronary arteries.
