ABSTRACT Introduction Chronic constrictive pericarditis (CCP) is common in developing countries, tuberculosis being the most common cause. Dyspnea and congestive symptoms are the most common nonspecific presenting symptoms that require further evaluation for clinching the diagnosis. Coexistent right atrial (RA) thrombus and CCP are rare occurrences. Preoperative detection of RA thrombus is very important to avoid the risk of pulmonary thromboembolism during pericardiectomy or cannulation for establishing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Perioperative echocardiography may play a crucial role in this setting. We report a case of CCP in which preoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) detected RA thrombus that led to change in surgical plan and provided continuous monitoring during surgery. Case Report A 14-year-old male presented with a history of abdominal distension and pedal edema for 5 months. Physical examination revealed raised jugular venous pulse with normal heart sounds and no murmurs. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) revealed constrictive physiology and thickened pericardium. After induction of anesthesia, TEE revealed an irregular hyperechoic mass (50 × 36 × 30 mm) in the RA free wall that was not detected on preoperative TTE and computerized tomography (CT). Thickened pericardium all around mandated limited pericardiectomy under TEE guidance to allow bicaval cannulation for establishing CPB. This was followed by surgical removal of the thrombus and remaining pericardiectomy using CPB. His postoperative period was uneventful and the patient was discharged home on postoperative day 7. Conclusion The TEE may be instrumental in diagnosis of coexistent RA thrombus in the case of CCP resulting in major change in surgical plan and providing perioperative monitoring to avert significant morbidity and mortality.

The use of indwelling central catheters for long-term administration of hyperalimentation, chemotherapy or other intravenous therapies is increasing. This unusual presentation of a catheter-induced right atrial thrombus was complicated by fungal infection. We present a case of a paediatric sickle-cell patient who underwent surgical removal of a right atrial thrombus secondary to fungal ( Candida tropicalis) endocarditis from an indwelling catheter. Successful thrombus removal utilizing cardiopulmonary bypass and subsequent discharge underscores the importance of surgical therapy in treating this important complication.

Abstract Chronic constrictive pericarditis (CCP) is the most common pericardial pathology. CCP complicating with intracardiac thrombus is a rare entity, the detection of thrombus preoperatively is life-saving in avoiding the risk of pulmonary thromboembolism during anterior pericardiectomy. Transesophageal echocardiography has been shown to have better sensitivity in detecting atrial thrombus than transthoracic echocardiography. Surgical removal of right atrial thrombus under cardiopulmonary bypass should be considered.
