Additional investigation revealed a moderately stenosed bicispid aortic valve, two vessel coronary artery disease and ischemic cardiomyopathy. The patient underwent early surgery to reduce the risk of further embolic episodes. A trans-aortic approach was utilized with videoscopy and single shafted instrumentation to aide in removal of the thrombus. The patient then underwent aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass grafting.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We report an alternative technique for the removal of a left ventricular thrombus in a patient undergoing concurrent coronary and aortic valve surgery. The transaortic video-assisted approach provided excellent visualisation of the apex and near complete removal of the thrombus without damaging the surrounding trabeculae. The main benefit of this technique is sparing of LV tissue, thereby preserving left ventricular function.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13019-021-01626-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,26]],"date-time":"2021-08-26T10:03:55Z","timestamp":1629972235000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Video assisted, transaortic removal of left ventricular thrombus during concurrent cardiac surgery: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4484-3304","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aditya","family":"Eranki","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Claudia","family":"Villanueva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicholas","family":"Collins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peng","family":"Seah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,26]]},"reference":[{"issue":"7","key":"1626_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"642","DOI":"10.1001\/jamacardio.2018.1086","volume":"3","author":"C McCarthy","year":"2018","unstructured":"McCarthy C, Vaduganthan M, McCarthy K, Januzzi J, Bhatt D, McEvoy J.
