Abstract

Free-floating left atrial ball thrombus is a rare condition. We report a giant left atrial ball thrombus which was removed under surgery

uneventfully, in a 48-year-old male patient with the presence of sinus rhythm and no valvular disease with previous off-pump

coronary artery bypass surgery.
