%X Left ventricular (LV) thrombus is a relatively rare complication of myocardial infarction, with incidence ranged from 2.9% to 15% in different population.1 It is potentially catastrophic since it may lead to embolic cerebrovascular accident. Patients with LV thrombus may have worse prognosis and quality of life. Risk factors include anterior ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), large infarct size, LV aneurysm, suboptimal revascularization [those with Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) 0-1 flow], and cardiac arrest
