Giant left atrium encountered during right-sided thoracentesis
Giant left atrium is an uncommon pathology to encounter during bedside chest ultrasound, but is an important structure to be aware of when considering thoracentesis.

This case also supports growing evidence that expert users can safely perform thoracentesis without completely reversing therapeutic anticoagulation.

This will reduce its size and, therefore, the space which it occupies, and will restore the anatomical relations of neighbouring struct...
