Right atrial thrombus in a patient with stage IV carcinoma of the lung: is the surgical treatment the correct choice?
Sabharwal P., Ruggles S., Gharagozloo
From the Department of Surgery Georgetown University Medical Center Washington, D.C., USA
Thrombus in the right atrium or ventricle is rare and carries a mortality rate of 40%. Death frequently occurs when the thrombus moves toward the pulmonary arteries. Emergent treatment is therefore required. However there is no clear consensus regarding therapeutic management. We present here a patient with right atrial thrombus who underwent surgical exploration of the right atrium and successful thrombectomy.
