Abstract

Introduction: Predisponing factors for left atrial thrombosis (LA) are mitral valve pathology, prosthetic mitral valve, impaired left ventricular function, and abnormal left atrial contractile function, such as atrial fibrillation (AFF). Thrombus formation is less common in the right atrium (DA) than in a left atrium, is often dangerous, and is rarely diagnosed.
Case report: 68-year-old man patient admitted to the internal medicine ward due to abdominal pain localised under the right costal arch with nauzea, afebrile. A few days ago he was treated by a cardiologist due to hypertensive crises. The echocardiographic finding showed a present TU formation in the left atrium, mobile, which gives the impression that it is atached to the IAS loop, the same with dimensions 2.41x1.19 cm, as well as the present TU formation in the right atrium, attached to a thick loop in area of the mouth of this v.cava superior, with dimensions 1.35x1.05 cm.
Conclusion: Diagnosis and management of intracardiac thrombi combined with acute abdomen is best done with an interprofessional team that includes an internist, cardiologist, radiologist, vascular, abdominal surgeon, and a team of specialized nurses. It is visual to treat intracardiac thrombi, as this may reduce the risk of stroke, myocardial infarction, and pulmonary embolism.
