Right heart thrombus in transit: Raising bar in the management of cardiac arrest.

Project description:Right heart thrombus represents medical emergency as it is associated with acute pulmonary embolism. Right heart thrombus can manifest acutely in a dramatic fashion as cardiac arrest. Bedside echocardiography is a key to rapid diagnosis and allow early intervention. We report a case of elderly female who was admitted to our hospital after a mechanical fall and found to have hip fracture. Despite an initial uncomplicated course, she experienced cardiopulmonary arrest with right heart clot in transit identified on transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). We highlight the utility of point-of-care ultrasound as well as use of TEE to establish cause of cardiopulmonary arrest.

Case report of SARS Co-V2 infection, acute pulmonary embolism, and right ventricular thrombus.

Project description:BackgroundCOVID-19 is a novel disease that has been associated with changes in haemostasis and increased risk of thrombosis, especially in patients who are critically ill.Case summarya 71-year-old patient presented to the emergency department with acute respiratory failure. The patient had been discharged from the hospital 1 day before, after apparent recovery of a proven COVID-19 infection. Relevant medical history reports polycythemia vera. The diagnostic work-up included a CT-scan of the thorax, revealing bilateral sub-segmental pulmonary embolism. An echocardiogram showed a dilated right ventricle with poor systolic function and a large multi-lobar thrombus. Forty-eight hours after initiation of treatment with therapeutic anticoagulation the thrombus was no longer seen on the echocardiogram.DiscussionThis case confirms the high risk of thrombosis in COVID-19 infection as has been described in recent literature. It demonstrates the severity of the coagulopathy given the presence of both bilateral sub-segmental pulmonary embolism and right ventricular thrombus, despite treatment with prophylactic anticoagulation. Remarkable in this case is the fact that the patient had a myeloproliferative neoplasm (polycythaemia vera). This is associated with an increased risk of thrombosis, especially in the presence of erythrocytosis, leucocytosis, and/or inflammation.

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension following pulmonary embolism with a right ventricular thrombus: A report of two cases.

Project description:Right heart thrombus accompanied by chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is a rare entity. Right heart thrombus may develop in the peripheral veins or in situ within the right heart chambers. The diagnosis of right heart thrombus is challenging, since its symptoms are typically non-specific and its imaging features resemble those of cardiac masses. Here, we report two cases of right heart thrombus with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension that presented as right ventricular masses initially. Both patients underwent simultaneous pulmonary endarterectomy and resection of the ventricular thrombi. Thus, when mass-like features are confirmed by imaging, right heart thrombus should be suspected in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, and simultaneous right heart thrombus resection is required along with pulmonary endarterectomy.

Point-of-care Ultrasound Diagnosis of Pulmonary Embolism with Thrombus in Transit.

Project description:A 95-year-old female with a history of dementia and atrial fibrillation (not on anticoagulation) presented to the emergency department (ED) by ambulance from her skilled nursing facility due to hypoxia. Point-of-care ultrasound was performed, and showed evidence of a large mobile thrombus in the right ventricle on apical four-chamber view. Further evidence of associated right heart strain was seen on the corresponding parasternal short-axis view. These ultrasound findings in combination with the patient's clinical presentation are diagnostic of acute pulmonary embolism with right heart strain. Point-of-care transthoracic cardiac ultrasound in the ED is an effective tool to promptly diagnose acute pulmonary embolism with right heart strain and thrombus in transit and guide further treatment.

Saddle Pulmonary Embolism with Thrombus in Transit across a Patent Foramen Ovale.

Project description:This is the case of a 25-year-old obese man who presented with acute shortness of breath, chest pain, and palpitations. Of note, he lives a sedentary lifestyle and was recently hospitalized for incision and drainage of a left foot abscess. On presentation he was tachypnoeic, tachycardiac, and hypoxic but blood pressure was stable. Laboratory studies were significant for elevated D-dimer and mildly increased troponin. On further investigation he was found to have a saddle pulmonary embolism with massive clot burden. Echocardiogram revealed thrombus in transit and McConnell's sign. He underwent surgical embolectomy and closure of a patent foramen ovale. This is a particularly rare case, especially in such a young patient. Because this is a rare diagnosis, with insufficient data, there is no formally established treatment guideline. However, in patients who are good surgical candidates, studies have shown better outcome with surgical embolectomy as compared to anticoagulation alone or thrombolysis.

Right ventricular variants and pulmonary embolism-association or coincidence?

Project description:It has been stated that the interior of the right ventricle is as unique to each individual as one's fingerprint. This statement is backed by numerous publications which demonstrates considerable variation in the number, shape and configuration of papillary muscles inside the normal right ventricle.It has also been shown that these variants may be the cause of cardiac rhythm disorders.In this case report another potential complication of such right ventricular papillary muscle variants is proposed-these muscles may be the source of pulmonary emboli.The pathogenesis may be that of local stasis around these aberrant muscular structures and/or emboli may form inside the right ventricle as a result of cardiac rhythm disorders, induced by these muscles.It is proposed that in future the role of the right ventricle as the source of pulmonary emboli will become more apparent and an important part of the diagnostic work up in cases of idiopathic pulmonary embolism.
