Abstract
In two patients presenting with myocardial infarction, one with a subendocardial infarction and the second patient with a classic Q wave infarction, pedunculated left ventricular thrombi were detected in the course of subsequent routine cardiac catheterization. Both patients underwent successful surgical thrombectomy.
