A potential role of ECG-gated CT for the diagnosis of pulmonary vein thrombus: an illustrative case report
The presence of tumor thrombus in patients with lung cancer confers a risk of stroke and other end-organ ischemic events. This case highlights a potential role for electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated computed tomography (CT) in the diagnosis of this pathologic process. In this case, pulmonary vein thrombus was definitively identified by an ECG-CT following discordant results between CT and transthoracic echocardiogram. In addition, this case demonstrates how management decisions are affected by physician accessibility to and familiarity with specific imaging tests.

A potential role of ECG-Gated CT for the diagnosis of pulmonary vein thrombus; an illustrative case report
The presence of tumor thrombus in patients with lung cancer confers a risk of stroke and other end organ ischemic events. This case highlights a potential role for ECG-Gated Computed Tomography (ECG-CT) in the diagnosis of this pathologic process. In this case pulmonary vein thrombus was definitively identified by an ECG-CT following discordant results between Computed Tomography (CT) and Transthoracic Echocardiogram (TTE). In addition, this case demonstrates how management decisions are affected by physician accessibility to and familiarity with specific imaging tests.
