RIGHT ATRIAL THROMBI IN DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS PATIENT WITH PULMONARY EMBOLISM

Main Article Content

Abstract

Right heart thrombi is a rare condition with a high mortality rate. Currently, there is no optimal treatment protocol due to a lack of large-scale clinical trials. In this article, we describe a clinical case of right atrial thrombosis in a high-risk patient due to advanced age, large thrombus size, strong mobility, and a history of pulmonary embolism complications. Diagnosis was based on echocardiography and contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Conventional treatment options including surgery, thrombus evacuation, and medical treatment with anticoagulant therapy were discussed. Results showed a gradual reduction and resolution of the right atrial thrombus following treatment with anticoagulant therapy.
