Abstract

AbstractIntroductionIntracardiac echocardiography (ICE) reveals mobile thrombus on implantable electronic device leads in some patients undergoing electrophysiologic procedures.MethodsICE was performed in a patient undergoing ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation.ResultsICE showed extensive mobile thrombi on the implantable cardioverter defibrillator lead. Radiofrequency catheter ablation of VT from perimitral scar was safely performed via a retrograde aortic approach. After the procedure, chronic anticoagulation was initiated. CT‐angiography of the chest 2 months later showed no pulmonary emboli.ConclusionsThe significance of these thrombi, as related to chronic pulmonary embolization, warrants further study.
