About Video

This video clip three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiogram: sequential cropping shows the echo-dense mass to be a prominent pectinate muscle seen in the short axis (top arrowhead) and not a thrombus in the same patient. A second, smaller pectinate muscle is also seen (bottom arrowhead). (AV: Aortic valve; LA: Left atrium; LUPV: Left upper pulmonary vein; LV: Left ventricle).
