Resumen
SILES RUBIO, J. R. et al. Transient ischemic attack due to Lambl's excrecence: Report of a case and review of the literature. An. Med. Interna (Madrid) [online]. 2006, vol.23, n.4, pp.181-183. ISSN 0212-7199.
We describe a 42-year-old man presenting in the emergengy departament with transient ischemic attack without cardiovascular risk factors. Systemic disease and hypercoagulability substract was discarded. Only transesophageal echocardiography could confirm the presence of a Lambl's excrescence in the aortic valve (valvular strand). We review clinical management and new therapeutic options in stroke prevention used in this unusual source of cardiac embolism.
Palabras clave : Stroke; Transient ischemic attack; valvular strand; Cardiac embolism.
