Abstract:
A 72-year-old man with cirrhosis had undiagnosed hepatocellular carcinoma with distant metastasis occupying nearly the entire right atrium. He was a poor surgical candidate because of his bleeding risks and advanced liver cirrhosis. He successfully underwent urgent large-bore aspiration thrombectomy under simultaneous echocardiography and fluoroscopy, thus leading to a diagnosis of metastatic malignant disease.
