Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Cardiac Surgery

Background:

  • Constrictive pericarditis can lead to cardiac chamber abnormalities.
  • Atrial thrombosis is a rare but serious complication.

Observation:

  • A 73-year-old male presented with right atrial thrombosis.
  • The patient also had constrictive pericarditis and persistent sinus rhythm.

Findings:

  • Successful surgical intervention combining thrombectomy and pericardiectomy was performed.
  • This dual procedure addressed both the thrombosis and the underlying pericardial disease.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a viable treatment strategy for complex cardiac conditions.
  • Successful management of right atrial thrombosis in conjunction with constrictive pericarditis is achievable.
