  • Title: Floating thrombi on the Eustachian valve as a complication of venous thromboembolic disease.
    Author: Barriales V, Tamargo JA, Aguado MG, Martín M, Rondán J, Segovia E, Morís C.
    Journal: Int J Cardiol; 2004 Feb; 93(2-3):289-91. PubMed ID: 14975561.
    Abstract:
    Floating right heart thrombi can occur in 4-18% of patients with pulmonary embolism. Usually, the diagnosis is done by echocardiography and carries an important prognostic significance as thrombi can embolize at any moment and severe pulmonary embolism is the most frequent way of floating right heart thrombi presentation (mortality rate >40%). We present a case report of floating right thrombi in a patient with proven deep venous thrombosis complicated with nonmassive pulmonary embolism that was successfully treated with thrombolysis.
