Popis: A newborn with pulmonary hypertension due to the premature fetal arterial duct occlusion was diagnosed with a giant left ventricle thrombus. Cardiopulmonary compromise required multidrug therapy with vasopressors infusions, high-frequency oscillation, and nitric oxide. Alteplase infusion through a guiding catheter into the left atrium dissoluted the clot without sequelae. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
