case_images: We performed transesophageal echocardiography, which revealed thrombus formation in the LAA (Fig. 1a). At Day 33, multiple ischemic strokes were revealed using magnetic resonance imaging (Fig. 1b). At Day 40, his SF level had normalized (5.6 mug/mL) and his D-dimer level decreased (5.5 mug/mL) (Fig. 1c).
