We present an unusual complication caused by a dialysis catheter inserted through the internal jugular vein into the central venous system. The 49-year-old male patient developed a right atrial thrombus, which became infected with Staphylococcus aureus, resulting in septic pulmonary embolism and septicemic shock. The thrombus was excised on cardiopulmonary bypass. The patient made an uneventful recovery.

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.
