Abstract Case presentation A 46-years old female with a history of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was admitted to hospital care after the manifestation of a tonic-clonic generalized seizure. Since this had been the first neurological event, a thorough diagnostic work-up was performed. CT- and MRI-imaging of the brain revealed cerebral microangiopathy and two small fresh ischemic lesions in the left frontal and temporobasal regions, respectively. While the microangiopathy could be reconciled with cerebral SLE-vasculitis, the ischemic lesions pointed to thromboembolism whose source could be potentially cardiogenic. Findings. In fact, the transesophageal echocardiogram showed a small vegetation (5x8 mm) on the posteromedial cusp of the posterior mitral leaflet (P3) with moderate regurgitation, likely to represent Libman-Sacks endocarditis and a potential source of systemic embolization. In addition, a mass of was visible protruding from the fossa ovalis into the right atrium, see figure. It represented a thrombus according to MRI which was subsequently performed. Since no interatrial passage of microbubbles occurred, the foramen ovale was unlikely to be patent and to allow for paradoxical embolism into the brain. However, the right atrial thrombus was compatible with a history of repeated deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism in the recent past. Discussion This case exemplifies the combination of Libman-Sacks endocarditis on the mitral valve with right atrial thrombus formation and ensuing embolism both into the venous and arterial system. It demonstrates the importance of closely monitoring and treating coagulopathies in SLE patients which makes them prone to thrombus formation both in the systemic and pulmonary circulation.

Abstract:: Right atrial thrombus can originate from distal venous sources or can be iatrogenic secondary to placement of central venous catheters, atrial devices, or surgeries. One of the most common complications of central venous catheters (CVCs) is thromboembolism, which can be either fixed to the right atrium or can be free-floating. Device-related right atrial thrombosis (RAT) can result in catheter occlusion, vascular occlusion, infection, and pulmonary embolism. The true incidence of these complications is unknown because the diagnosis may not be considered in asymptomatic patients and might be missed by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). In this literature review, we discuss iatrogenic etiologies of RAT that is complicated by pulmonary embolism. We highlight the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion of iatrogenic RAT, possible complications, and its management.

Pedicled mobile thrombus in the right atrium is an extremely rare condition. Here, we described a case of a 42-year-old male hospitalized with complaints of chest pain and hemoptysis. Computed tomographic angiography of the pulmonary artery showed signs of embolism, and thoracic echocardiography indicated a pedicled mobile cloudy echo in the right atrium, which was initially suspected to be a myxoma. However, it was confirmed to be a thrombus by histopathological examination. Postoperatively, the patient was treated with anticoagulant therapy comprising of low molecular heparin and warfarin, and the patient recovered well. Thoracic echocardiography performed 3 months after surgery ruled out any recurrence of right atrial thrombus.

Tumor-like formation of thrombus in the right atrial cavity is rare. It may be mistaken for a myxoma. The exact pathophysiology of an isolated thrombus in the heart is still unclear. Management to prevent complications such as pulmonary thromboembolism depends on the clinical judgment of a cardiologist. This report describes a 76-year-old woman with right atrial thrombus causing subsequent pulmonary thromboembolism in right lung. She initially presented to us with pulmonary embolism, and later, an incidental finding of a mass in her right atrium revealed an association of thrombus in heart with thrombus in lung. The challenging management was to resect this thrombus which was fixed to atrial septum, and a trial of anticoagulation did not resolve it. Exact management of such incidental findings in right heart cavities is not well established. Some cases may benefit from resection of such formed fixed thrombus.
