Free-floating right heart thrombi are rare but can occur without significant pulmonary embolism. Conservative treatment with anticoagulants led to complete resolution in this case.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Echocardiography
  • Thrombosis

Background:

  • Free-floating right heart thrombi (FFRHT) are uncommon echocardiographic findings.
  • FFRHT are typically associated with massive pulmonary embolism (PE) and carry a poor prognosis.

Observation:

  • A case of a large FFRHT was identified in a patient.
  • The patient presented without clinically significant pulmonary embolism.

Findings:

  • Conservative management with anticoagulation therapy (heparin and warfarin) was initiated.
  • The FFRHT resolved completely without complications.

Implications:

  • This case suggests that FFRHT may not always indicate massive PE.
  • Conservative anticoagulation therapy can be a viable treatment option for FFRHT.
