Overview

Rare RV thrombus/PE after anterior MI in young adults warrants consideration in hypoxaemic patients; hypothesis-generating for screening and management.

Key Points

  • To describe a case involving right ventricular thrombus and pulmonary embolism following anterior myocardial infarction.
  • Case report of a 28-year-old male patient
  • Admitted to the ICU with severe hypoxaemia
  • Assessment included elevated troponin levels and ECG findings
  • Patient presented with hypoxaemia and jugular vein distension after anterior myocardial infarction
  • ECG demonstrated normal sinus rhythm with significant ST-segment changes
  • Right ventricular thrombus and pulmonary embolism confirmed in clinical evaluation

Population
A 28-year-old man admitted to the intensive care unit for severe hypoxaemia and suspected anterior myocardial infarction.

This case highlights the rare presentation of right ventricular thrombus and pulmonary embolism complicating an anterior myocardial infarction in a young patient.

Cite This Study

Boukantar et al. (2010) conducted a case report in Anterior myocardial infarction, right ventricular thrombus, and pulmonary embolism (n=1). A 28-year-old man presented with severe hypoxaemia and was diagnosed with an anterior myocardial infarction complicated by right ventricular thrombus and pulmonary embolism.
