Abstract:
Intracardiac masses and specifically right atrial thrombi can be difficult to manage and carry a high mortality rate. Typically, surgical removal or mechanical thrombectomy can be performed though may not be suitable for all patients. We present a unique case of a sickle cell patient with a large pedunculated right atrial thrombus that was successfully extracted using the novel ŌNŌ Retrieval Device.
