Abstract
A mobile and pedunculated left ventricular thrombus was developed after acute myocardial infarction in a 59-year-old man, and was successfully removed surgically through the aortic valve using a video-assisted thoracoscope. Transaortic video-assisted thoracoscopy greatly facilitated exposure of the interior of the left ventricle and preserved left ventricular function by avoiding ventriculotomy.
