This paper reports a case of a 38-year-old young man with a lower extremity arterial thrombus diagnosed by ultrasound, which was traced back to the left ventricular thrombus. By reviewing the relevant literature, the relationship between lower extremity arterial thrombosis and left ventricular thrombosis is described, and which examination method is the most valuable in the diagnosis of thrombosis is discussed.
