  • Title: Infective right atrial thrombus: a rare complication of total parenteral nutrition in an adult.
    Author: Badano L, Carratino L, Giunta L, Calisi P, Lucatti A.
    Journal: Eur Heart J; 1992 Oct; 13(10):1441-3. PubMed ID: 1396822.
    Abstract:
    We describe a case of an infective right atrial thrombus, following total parenteral nutrition, in a 21-year-old woman undergoing a surgical procedure for long-standing chronic ulcerative colitis. She presented with high temperature and the illness did not respond to antibiotic therapy. A 2-dimensional echocardiogram showed a mobile right atrial mass that at surgery was identified as a thrombus. Thrombus cultures grew coagulase-negative Staphylococcus aureus.
