Entrapped thrombus in a patent foramen ovale: complicated by pulmonary embolism without paradoxical embolism.
A 47-year-old man presented at our emergency department with sudden-onset dyspnea, chest pain, tachycardia, and bilateral leg swelling. He had hypotension and tachycardia. His oxygen saturation was 82% and plasma D-dimer level was 455 μg/L. An electrocardiogram showed sinus tachycardia and an S1Q 3T3 pattern. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) revealed a large thrombus (cross-sectional area...
متن کاملLower pulmonary veins are likely to have a pulmonary vein thrombus
Pulmonary vein thrombosis (PVT) was hypothesized as rare. However, since 2014, I have published several cases of PVT in elderly patients with chest pain using 64-slice multidetector computed tomography [1–10]. In 2014, I reported that 61% (35 patients) of 57 elderly patients had PVT [9], suggesting that PVT is common in elderly patients with chest pain; however, the pulmonary vein that is likel...
متن کاملA jumping left atrial thrombus connected to a pulmonary vein thrombus using transthoracic echocardiography and 64-slice multi-detector computed tomography
Few studies have reported the differences between transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and 64-slice multidetector CT (64-MDCT) in identifying left atrium (LA) thrombi. I report the case of a 70 year old man with coronary artery disease and angina who was diagnosed with a thrombus in the left lower pulmonary vein extending to the LA using a non-invasive 64-MDCT scan and TTE. TTE was unable to cl...
متن کاملMigrating thrombus trapped in a patent foramen ovale.
A36-year-old woman with a 3-week history of shortness of breath was admitted to the hospital after having suffered syncope. She also complained of left-sided leg pain. Duplex ultrasound revealed a right-sided proximal deep venous thrombosis and an occluded left popliteal artery. Echocardiography demonstrated a dilated right ventricle and tricuspid regurgitation with an estimated pulmonary systo...
متن کاملFree-floating right atrial thrombus with acute pulmonary embolism.
A 70-year-old man had an episode of dyspnoea followed by syncope 2 months after a stroke. Deep venous thrombosis was found in his right lower extremity by venous Doppler ultrasound. Transoesophageal echocardiography revealed a 33638 mm highly mobile mass floating in his right atrium with no attachment to any atrium structure (fig 1A). The right heart chambers were dilated with mild tricuspid va...
