Movable huge serpentine intracardiac thrombus in right atrium and massive pulmonary embolism: A rare manifestation of deep vein thrombosis

Pulmonary embolism is linked with a remarkable rate of mortality, particularly when it is associated with hemodynamic instability, right atrial thrombus and related right ventricular dysfunction. Intraoperative use of transesophageal echocardiography can lead to the diagnosis of massive thrombi, entrapped in patent foramen ovale. Continue reading →
