Popis: We describe the management and clinical decision making in a cardiogenic shock patient with a free-floating left ventricular thrombus found during temporary mechanical support with an Impella CP. The management of these patients can be challenging because there are no guidelines or data to support any particular treatment strategy. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
