Structured PICO

P
Population
A 23-year-old male with Ebstein's anomaly, right atrial thrombus, and heart failure, treated medically while awaiting surgery.
I
Intervention
Medical management with furosemide 40 mg daily, digitalis, and anticoagulants

Limitations

  • Lack of adequate resources for surgical management in the local setting.

Cite This Study

Mahamat-Azaki et al. (2024) conducted a case report in Ebstein's anomaly with right atrial thrombus (n=1). Medical management (Furosemide, digitalis, anticoagulants) was evaluated on Symptom resolution. Medical management with diuretics, digitalis, and anticoagulants led to the regression of heart failure symptoms in a 23-year-old man with Ebstein's anomaly and a large right atrial thrombus.
