Key result
Right intracavitary thrombi in PE linked to ~260% higher mortality.
Why the study?
Floating thrombus of the right heart chambers is an uncommon diagnosis systematically associated with pulmonary embolism, prompting a need to describe its management and evolution.

Right intracavitary thrombi signal higher mortality in pulmonary embolism; hypothesis-generating for prospective management trials.
Nacanabo et al. (2025) conducted a cohort in Pulmonary embolism. Right intracavitary thrombus vs. Absence of right intracavitary thrombus was evaluated on Mortality. The presence of right intracavitary thrombi in patients with pulmonary embolism was associated with a higher mortality rate (35.29% vs 9.82%).
