Emergent surgical thrombectomy successfully treated a giant right heart thrombus-in-transit and pulmonary embolism in a 36-year-old woman with Evans syndrome, leading to an uneventful recovery.
Why the study?
Clinical case reports of giant, free-floating right heart thrombi in asymptomatic patients are rare, and optimal management options have not been established.
