ABSTRACT
Transesophageal echocardiography is the most frequently used imaging modality for exclusion of left atrial appendage thrombus prior to cardioversion. Echocardiographers should be aware of rare conditions that may mimic left atrial appendage thrombus. Here, we describe a rare case of prominent para-cardiac fat mimicking left atrial appendage thrombus on transesophageal echocardiographic imaging. Multimodality imaging with cardiac computed tomography was instrumental in providing further anatomical delineation and characterization of the echodensity as prominent para-cardiac fat in this case.
