Spontaneous disappearance of right atrial thromboembolus without pulmonary embolism
Acta Cardiologica
|January 1, 1986
Abstract:
A right atrial thromboembolus was detected by two-dimensional echocardiography in a 78-year-old woman with no signs of pulmonary embolism. Anticoagulant therapy was given. The thromboembolus gradually disappeared within four months, and repeat lung perfusion scintigrams during this time did not show any signs of pulmonary embolization.
