  • Title: Transthoracic echocardiography documents prompt resolution of right atrial thrombus after thrombolytic therapy.
    Author: Lee KS, Pashkow FJ, Homa DA, Salcedo EE.
    Journal: J Am Soc Echocardiogr; 1992; 5(5):541-3. PubMed ID: 1389222.
    Abstract:
    Right atrial thrombi represent pulmonary emboli in transit, and they may be fatal in patients treated conservatively with anticoagulation. This case provides an opportunity to review echocardiographic findings and management decisions in this disease entity. As the literature now favors thrombolytic therapy in suitable patients, we present a case in which transthoracic echocardiography provided rapid assessment of the outcome of this form of therapy.
