Background: Life-threatening intracardiac thrombosis is rare. Intracardiac thrombosis may affect neonates from the first months of life. Because of the potential risk of serious bleeding, the use of recombinant plasminogen activator (rt-PA) in neonates along with heparin is controversial. Case Report: We reported a 37- day- old term infant presented with fever, restlessness, malaise, and respiratory acidosis. Right atrial thrombose was identified by ECHO, results of laboratory tests, and examination. She was successfully treated with rt-PA and rivaroxaban. Conclusion: Early echocardiographic detection before the clot grows large and organized, allows complete, safe, and rapid thrombolysis with rt-PA and rivaroxaban.

Abstract Wildfires pose a major health risk for humans, wildlife, and domestic animals. We previously discovered pathophysiologic parallels between domestic cats with naturally occurring smoke inhalation and thermal burn injuries and human beings with similar injuries; these were characterized by transient myocardial thickening, cardiac troponin I elevation and formation of intracardiac thrombosis. While the underlying mechanisms remain unclear, results from murine models suggest that platelet priming and activation may contribute to a global hypercoagulable state and thrombosis. Herein, we evaluated and compared the degree of platelet activation, platelet response to physiologic agonists and levels of platelet-derived microvesicles (PDMV) in 29 cats with naturally occurring wildfire thermal injuries, 21 clinically healthy cats with subclinical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and 11 healthy cats without HCM (CC). We also quantified and compared circulating PDMVs in WF cats to CC cats. In addition, we examined the association between thrombotic events, severity of burn injuries, myocardial changes, and the degree of platelet activation in cats exposed to wildfires. Flow cytometric detection of platelet surface P-selectin expression showed that cats in the wildfire group (WF) had increased platelet response to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and thrombin compared to the 2 control groups indicating the presence of primed platelets in circulation. In addition, cats in the WF group had increased circulating levels of PDMV, characterized by increased phosphatidylserine on the external leaflet. Cats in the WF group with documented intracardiac thrombosis had elevated platelet activation and platelet priming in the presence of ADP or thrombin. While high dose arachidonic acid (AA) mostly resulted in platelet inhibition, persistent platelet activation in response to AA was noted among cats in the WF group with intracardiac thrombosis. Univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses demonstrated that increased platelet response to AA was independently associated with thrombotic events. This is the first study reporting the significant association between platelet priming and intracardiac thrombosis in domestic cats with naturally occurring wildfire-related injuries and smoke inhalation. Further studies are required to delineate additional mechanisms between inflammation and thrombosis, especially regarding platelet primers and the cyclooxygenase pathway.

Behcets disease is a chronic multisystem disorder characterized by relapsing inflammation for which the underlying histopathology is an occlusive vasculitis. Intracardiac thrombosis is a rare complication of Behcets disease. The management of this involvement is difficult due to the risk of recurrence. We prresent the case of a young man admitted to our hospital for hemoptysis. We discovered a right ventricle thrombus on CT angiogram and we confirmed the diagnosis on echocardiography.

Intravenous central line catheters are often at risk of line-related thrombosis. We report on how the cardiopulmonary bypass strategy was tailored to the particular anatomical challenges with the use of an unconventional venous cannulation site to optimise intraoperative venous drainage, improve surgical exposure and avoid circulatory arrest in a case with a complex intracardiac thrombosis. This report also highlights the importance of assiduously monitoring the efficacy of anticoagulation therapy, especially in the context of small bowel syndrome.

We herein describe a case series of children with SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19) complicated with acute intracardiac thrombosis. The diagnosis of COVID-19 was confirmed through the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Transthoracic echocardiography of patients revealed large intracardiac mobile masses resected successfully via cardiac surgery. The underlying mechanisms of this thrombus in the COVID-19 infection may be attributed to the hypercoagulation and inflammatory state of the disease incurred by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
