Abstract
We present herein the case of a 63-year-old man with nephrotic syndrom e who developed an apical infarction 4 days after undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. Echocardiography done 2 weeks postoperatively revealed a left ventricular thrombus which was successfully removed. H e has had no further thrombotic events since anticoagulant therapy was initiated.
