    Author: Kentos A, Dufaye P, Jacobs F, De Smet JM, Serruys E, Thys JP.
    Journal: Clin Infect Dis; 1995 Aug; 21(2):440-2. PubMed ID: 8562760.
    Abstract:
    Right atrial thrombus formation is a rare complication of central venous catheterization in adults. Infection of this thrombus is exceptional. A case of a right atrial thrombus associated with Candida albicans infection is described. Surgical thrombectomy, withdrawal of the catheter, and long-term antiinfectious therapy seem the only appropriate treatment. The literature on this unusual condition is reviewed.
