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.
