Rarecase of biventricular thrombi complicating pulmonary embolism

Massive Biventricular Thrombi in a Patient with Endometrial Adenocarcinoma Diagnosed on Computed Tomography Angiography

“…Ventricular thrombus is a potentially life-threatening condition as it puts patients at an increased risk for embolic complications, including pulmonary embolism or stroke 4 (as seen in our patient). Therefore, understanding imaging modalities for early detection of ventricular thrombi carries clinical significance in preventing its potential complications.…”

“…Only a small number of prior case reports have reported biventricular thrombi. 1-7 Given that ventricular thrombi are high risk for cardioembolic events, accurate detection and therapeutic management has an important influence on clinical outcomes. We present a case report of a patient with biventricular thrombi detected on computed tomography angiography (CTA) imaging, highlighting its utility as a non-invasive diagnostic tool in early detection of intracardiac thrombi.…”

Extensive aortic thrombosis and testicular infarction – a rare complication of biventricular cardiac thrombi

“…Current European Society of Cardiology guidelines recommend oral anticoagulation for up to 6 months for treatment of LV thrombus, with duration guided by surveillance TTE and consideration of bleeding risk [ 8 ]. Thrombolysis remains a treatment option, however carries a risk of catastrophic embolization [ 3 ]. Thrombectomy should be considered in patients with a larger, more mobile thrombi which carry an increased risk of embolization [ 9 ].…”
