case_images: A hypoechoic mass with irregular borders concurrent with a thrombus was apparent in the left ventricle (Fig. 1).
case_images: Two-dimensional (A) and three-dimensional (B) tomography scan with volume rendering showed large ventricular thrombus

case_images: Cardiac tomography scan (CTC) was planned to investigate the accompanied cardiac anomaly causing ventricular thrombus development, and apical cardiac thrombus was confirmed (Fig. 2a, Fig. 2b).
case_images: ICA showed no evidence of obstructive coronary artery disease concurrent with peripartum cardiomyopathy

case_images: TTE showed that the embolus had diminished in size. To exclude coronary heart disease, invasive coronary angiography (ICA) was scheduled, and ICA performed on the 5th day revealed a normal coronary artery (Fig. 3) concurrent with peripartum cardiomyopathy.
