Core Tip	We successfully treated the patient of a large pedunculated left ventricular (LV) thrombus with poor LV function via left atriotomy. Compared to conventional ventriculotomy, left atrial approach would be more suitable for emergency LV thrombectomy for highly mobile thrombi because the left atriotomy may not further decrease the LV function and would preserve the LV apex for future ventricular assist device placement.
