case_images: The chest x-ray at the admission date showed a severe mediastinal enlargement (Figures 1A,B). Anticoagulation was performed with edoxaban, but still, left atrial thrombus formation was detectable (Figure 2A, Supplementary Video S1).
case_images: (A) Left atrium (LA) with thrombus formation two-chamber view and (B) mitral regurgitation.

case_images: Anticoagulation was performed with edoxaban, but still, left atrial thrombus formation was detectable (Figure 2A, Supplementary Video S1). The mitral regurgitation was due to degeneration of the anterior and posterior leaflets (Carpentier IIIa, Figure 2B), and an additional annular calcification was notable.
case_images: (A) CT scan prior surgery, (B) left atrial 3D volumetric measurements, and (C) left atrial (green) intrathoracic 3D dimensions.

case_images: With the CT scan, the left atrial dimensions were measurable, the axial diameter was 12.5 cm x 15 cm, and the volumetric calculation showed 1,204 ml (Syngo.via VB60A, Siemens Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany) (Figure 3).
