Objective Right atrial thrombus in the setting of a large pulmonary embolus is rare and is associated with serious adverse events. This case report presents the role played by EKOS EkoSonic ultrasound system in successfully treating right atrial thrombus and massive pulmonary embolism. Case report A 69-year-old female presented with a massive pulmonary embolus and a large mobile right atrial thrombus. She was treated with catheter-directed lysis using the EKOS EkoSonic ultrasound system and tissue plasminogen activator, with complete resolution of her right atrial thrombus and a marked improvement in her pulmonary embolus and hemodynamics. Conclusion This case report provides a new and an effective option to treat right atrial thrombus associated with a large pulmonary embolus leading to a good outcome.

Postpartum period carries high risk of pulmonary embolism due to hypercoagulability state. Pulmonary embolism (PE) should be suspected in postpartum patient who has short history of progressing right heart failure without underlying heart disease. We report a case of pulmonary embolism with large right atrial thrombus without deep vein thrombosis in a 27 years old lady, para 1+2,post-delivery day 30 who presented with sudden onset of dyspnea and giddiness. She was diagnosed with right atrial thrombus complicated by acute pulmonary embolism. An emergency operation was performed and intraoperatively a pedunculated mobile mass is attached to the right atrial wall mimicking atrial myxoma, with incidental finding of patent foramen ovale. The mass was removed and concomitant pulmonary embolectomy was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful with the patient subsequently discharged.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 02 No. 03 July’18. Page : 155-157
