Why the study?
Right atrial thrombi are rare, high-mortality, and frequently misdiagnosed or underestimated in daily clinical practice, emphasizing the role of echocardiography.
Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights the importance of echocardiography in diagnosing rare right atrial thrombi in patients with complex congenital heart disease and atrial fibrillation.
Echocardiography may aid detection of rare right atrial thrombi; leaves open optimal management pending prospective data.
Thrombi in the right atrium are rare and almost always associated with pulmonary embolism.Despite having high mortality, they are misdiagnosed and therefore underestimated in daily medical practice.The importance of echocardiography (TTE and TEE) in diagnosing thrombi in the right atrium and then in evaluating further treatment is to be emphasized.We present the case of a patient with two thrombi of different types in the right atrium.

Gjermeni et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Right atrial thrombi, chronic atrial fibrillation, post correction of Tetralogy of Fallot (n=1). Heparin i/v followed by Warfarin p.o. was evaluated on Resolution of thrombi.
