Abrupt formation and spontaneous resolution of a mobile right atrial thrombus following intraoperative cardiopulmonary resuscitation during da Vinci robotic-assisted surgery:
a case report
Abstract
Right atrial thrombus is rare yet potentially life-threatening, carrying a substantial risk of pulmonary embolism
and death. Management generally includes anticoagulation, thrombolysis, surgical thrombectomy, or catheter-
based removal,…
