Abstract

Abnormal vascularity in left ventricular mural thrombus with washout into the left ventricular chamber was demonstrated during selective coronary arteriography. The abnormal vascular blush is caused by neovascularization extending into the thrombus from the myocardium. Abnormal vascularity in the left ventricle demonstrated during coronary arteriography does not necessarily mean tumor, but suggests mural thrombus.
