Key result
FlowTriever aspiration thrombectomy achieves near-complete removal of a large right atrial thrombus in a case report.
Why the study?
Right atrial thrombi are rare, potentially fatal, and lack standardized interventional treatment strategies.
Does percutaneous aspiration thrombectomy improve thrombus resolution in a high-surgical-risk patient with a large right atrial thrombus?

Does percutaneous aspiration thrombectomy improve thrombus resolution in a high-surgical-risk patient with a large right atrial thrombus?
Percutaneous aspiration thrombectomy may be a feasible and effective alternative to surgery for managing large right atrial thrombi in high-risk patients.

Suggests percutaneous options for large RA thrombi in high-risk patients; leaves open standardized interventional strategies.
Nashtar et al. (2026) conducted a case report in Large Right Atrial Thrombus (n=1). Percutaneous aspiration thrombectomy (FlowTriever system) was evaluated on Thrombus removal and resolution. Percutaneous aspiration thrombectomy using the FlowTriever system resulted in near-complete removal of a large right atrial thrombus, with complete resolution at 1 year.
