Anesthetic Challenges in Emergency Surgery for Left Ventricular Thrombus with Mesenteric Ischemia A Rare Case Report
Introduction Left ventricular thrombus (LVT) is a potentially life-threatening complication, often following acute coronary syndromes or severe non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. Although its incidence has declined with advances such as primary percutaneous coronary intervention, it still poses significant perioperative challengesespecially during emergency non-cardiac surgeries. This case, published in the International Journal of Clinical Anesthesia Research, details the…
