Predictors of Left Ventricular Thrombus Formation in Acute Myocardial Infarction Treated With Successful Primary Angioplasty With Stenting

Localization of AMI and the size of myocardium damage remain the most important independent predictors of LV thrombus formation irrespective of various treatments.
