Other Cardiac Pathology - Clot Within Right Atrium
Caption
This patient initially presented post-operatively to the emergency department with complaints of dyspnea. From this subxiphoid view of the heart, we can see a hyperechoic structure suggestive of clot formation. An alternative view of this clot viewed from the right atrium and IVC junction can be seen here, termed “clot-in-transit”. The patient was subsequently diagnosed with a DVT that extended into their central femoral vein.
