In the current case presentation, a patient with prosthetic mechanical mitral valve developed brain hemorrhage following head trauma. Cessation of anticoagulation treatment resulted in left atrial thrombus; patient presented with recurrent emboli events to major arteries that required recurrent embolectomy. This case highlights the clinical conflict of restarting vitamin K anticoagulation following brain hemorrhage in a high risk patient and demonstrates the importance of multimodalities imaging in assessing those patients.
