Left ventricular (LV) thrombi occur in about onethird of patients who have had an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). 1,2 Autopsy 3 and echocardiographic studies 1,2 suggest that patients with protruding and mobile LV thrombi are at risk of systemic embolization.

We report the effect of urokinase on mobile LV thrombi in a patient with AMI.
