Off-pump surgical thrombectomy for subacute right atrial thrombus: A case report.

ABSTRACT: Right heart thrombi can be seen in a minority of patients with acute pulmonary embolism and are associated with an increased mortality risk. The optimal treatment option comprises thrombolysis or surgical thrombectomy either with catheterbased interventions or with open surgery. Open right atrial thrombectomy is usually performed under cardiopulmonary bypass due to the need for concomitant pulmonary embolectomy. Nevertheless, cardiopulmonary bypass has major drawbacks such as the risk of stroke, coagulopathy, and myocardial and respiratory dysfunction, particularly in high-risk patients. Herein, we report a case of successful off-pump surgical thrombectomy performed for the right atrial clot-in-transit following failure of the catheter-based intervention.

Suction thrombectomy of a massive, hypermobile (type C) right atrial thrombus: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundRight atrial thrombus (RAT) may be managed according to morphology and aetiology, i.e. Type A thrombi ('clot-in-transit', hypermobile) are managed with thrombolytics and surgical embolectomy due to high risk of embolization; Type B thrombi (broad-based, globular) may be managed medically as they will very likely maintain a benign course. Experience with management of a Type C thrombus (hypermobile but also broad-based) has not been explicitly described in the literature.Case summaryA 25-year-old man with history of leukaemia with prior right subclavian vein chemoport is found to have massive RAT. Multimodal imaging shows a hypermobile mass attached to the right atrial lateral wall inferior to superior vena cava and prolapsing into right ventricle in diastole. Given the thrombus morphology and likely propagation from subclavian port, risk of catastrophic embolization was deemed high and as such, intervention was indicated. Systemic anticoagulation was considered but deferred due to theoretical risk of dissolving the thrombus stalk leading to embolization. Surgical thrombectomy was offered but the patient declined. Due to evidence for success in RAT, the AngioVac System: Generation 3 (Angiodynamics, Inc., Latham, NY, USA) was chosen for intervention. The RAT was successfully removed without any complication.DiscussionAngioVac suction thrombectomy is a safe alternative option for removal of a Type C, massive, hypermobile RAT.

Listeria myopericarditis associated with right atrial mural thrombus: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundPericarditis is a common cardiology presentation, most often due to a viral or idiopathic cause. Listeria as a cause of pericarditis is rare. Listeria is an infection that is readily treatable with antibiotics following accurate identification. Without adequate treatment, Listeria infection has a high mortality rate.Case summaryIn this case, a fit and well 59-year-old man complained of headaches and fever to the emergency department (ED). He was provisionally diagnosed with giant cell arteritis (GCA) and commenced on management pathways for GCA. He represented to the ED with chest pain and electrocardiogram (ECG) changes suggestive of a clinical presentation of pericarditis. He received treatment for idiopathic pericarditis with no clinical resolution. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed myopericardial inflammation associated with a right atrial mural thrombus. After 2 weeks of poor treatment response, peripheral blood cultures grew Listeria monocytogenes and the patient responded well to antibiotic treatment. Repeat cardiac MRI after an extended course of antibiotics showed resolution of MRI signs.DiscussionThis is a case of Listeria myopericarditis. Physicians should consider rarer causes of myopericarditis in treatment resistance cases. Cardiac MRI has utility in atypical or treatment resistant patients to assess myopericardial inflammation and response to treatment.

Right atrial thrombus in a patient with COVID-19 pneumonia: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundSignificant coagulopathy and hyperinflammation are found in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Expert consensus has recommended prophylactic anticoagulation in COVID-19 patients due to the risk of thrombo-embolism. However, the use of therapeutic anticoagulation in these patients is still a matter of debate.Case summaryWe describe a patient with COVID-19 pneumonia and a clinical hyperinflammatory state. He developed early respiratory depression and required ventilation, and he subsequently developed haemodynamic instability. Point-of-care echocardiography demonstrated a right atrial thrombus and right ventricular dysfunction suggestive of acute massive pulmonary embolism. He was managed with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and local thrombolysis.DiscussionCritical cases of COVID-19 pneumonia are associated with hypercoagulation, and these patients should be monitored closely for complications. Therapeutic anticoagulation may play a role in the management and prevention of thrombo-embolism.

Giant right atrial thrombus associated with ICD lead externalized conductors: a case report.

Project description:IntroductionNarrow calibre ICD leads are prone to present insulation defects and conductor externalization. Close follow-up of these leads is recommended but as long as their electrical function is maintained, no prophyllactic replacement or extraction is advised. Although the risk of thrombus formation involving externalized conductors has been described, this risk seems considered as negligible compared with the risk of a prophylactic lead extraction. However, when an intracavitar thrombus is identified, the safest therapeutic approach remains undetermined.Case presentationIn the present clinical vignette, we describe the case of a giant thrombus developed along the externalized portion of an electrically functional ICD lead. In this case, the thrombus was successfully treated with a systemic oral anticoagulation.DiscussionThis case report supports the concept of a prolonged anticoagulation for both the diagnosis and the long-term treatment of thrombus developed along externalized ICD leads, in particular when the patient prefers to avoid or postpone the risk of a trans-venous lead extraction.

Large Solid Right Atrial Thrombus Treated by AngioVac Catheter-Based Suction Thrombectomy.

Project description:We present the successful treatment of a large solid right atrial thrombus by the catheter-based suction embolectomy system AngioVac® (AngioDynamics, NY, USA). A previously healthy 60-year-old male was referred with acute pulmonary embolism, a large deep vein thrombus and a large right atrial thrombus. After one week of anticoagulation, the size of the atrial thrombus was unaltered, and the patient was treated by catheter-directed embolectomy using the AngioVac system. The solid thrombus occluded the catheter during the procedure. With the vacuum maintained, the occluded catheter was removed from the patient and the thrombus mass was removed. The remaining atrial thrombus was successfully removed by suction after the reinsertion of the catheter. The patient recovered well and was discharged 7 days after the procedure. The therapy was safe and minimally invasive.

Surgical Treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma with a Tumor Thrombus Invading the Right Atrium: A Case Report.

Project description:Up to 3% of all hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) present with a tumor thrombus (TT) in the inferior vena cava (IVC) and right atrium (RA). Extensive growth of HCC into the IVC and the RA is associated with a particularly poor prognosis. This clinical condition is related to a high risk of sudden death due to pulmonary embolism or acute heart failure. Therefore, a technically challenging treatment undergoing hepatectomy and cavo-atrial thrombectomy is necessary. We report a 61-year-old man presenting with right subcostal pain, progressive weakness, and periodic shortness of breath for 3 months. He was diagnosed with advanced HCC with a TT extending from the right hepatic vein into the IVC and RA. A multidisciplinary meeting with cardiovascular and hepatobiliary surgeons, oncologists, cardiologists, anesthesiologists, and radiologists was held to determine the best treatment approach. Initially, the patient underwent right hemihepatectomy. As follows, the cardiovascular stage using cardiopulmonary bypass was successfully performed, removing the TT from the RA and ICV. In the early postoperative period, the patient remained stable and was discharged on the 8th postoperative day. A morphological examination revealed grade 2/3 HCC, a clear cell variant with microvascular and macrovascular invasion. Immunohistochemical staining was positive for HEP-1, CD10, whereas negative for S100. The morphological and immunohistochemical results corresponded to HCC. The treatment of such patients requires the cooperation of various specialties. Although the approach of the surgery is extremely complex including specific technical support, as well as high perioperative risks, the result offers favorable clinical outcomes.
