Figures

**Figure 1**
Consecutive images of the patient were recorded using intracardiac echocardiography. The yellow arrowheads indicate the thrombus. The red arrows indicate the mapping catheter. The green arrows indicate the ICD lead. A lead = atrial lead; Ao = aorta; RA = right atrium; RV = right ventricle; V lead = ventricular lead.
