May support anticoagulation trial to confirm thrombosis and avoid surgery in hemodialysis patients with right atrial masses; leaves open need for prospective studies.
Case Report (n=1)
In a hemodialysis patient with a right atrial mass of uncertain etiology, therapeutic response to anticoagulation confirmed the diagnosis of thrombosis and avoided high-risk surgery.
Salani et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Right atrial mass in chronic hemodialysis (n=1). Anticoagulation was evaluated on Reduction in mass size. Anticoagulation therapy for 180 days resulted in a significant reduction of a right atrial mass in a hemodialysis patient, confirming the diagnosis of thrombosis.
