Because a thrombus located in the left ventricle with normal systolic
functions is more likely to embolize, the patient was recommended a
thrombectomy operation by the cardiovascular surgeon. The patient
refused to have the surgery and asked for medical therapy instead.
Because of the recent surgical operation he had, enoxaparin 6000 IU
twice daily was ordered, and the patient was discharged at his own
request to come for a follow-up one week later. However, it was learned
that he was hospitalized in another hospital with ischemic
cerebrovascular attack two days after discharge.
