Discussion

May support urokinase for rare right atrial thrombus with PE; leaves open need for controlled trials before broader use.

Population

A 29-year-old male with a right atrial mobile thrombus and multiple pulmonary emboli, with a history of deep venous thrombosis.

Intervention

Intravenous urokinase (960,000 units/day for 5 days, followed by 480,000 units/day for 4 days) followed by warfarin.

Outcome

Disappearance of the abnormal mass in the cardiac chambers on echocardiogram and reestablishment of lung perfusion on scintigraphy.surrogate

Thrombolytic therapy with urokinase was effective in resolving a rare right atrial mobile thrombus complicated by multiple pulmonary emboli.

Kasama et al. (1992) studied this question.
