Intracardiac Thrombi in both the right atrium and right ventricle after acute inferior-wall myocardial infarction
Kanji Iga MD, Takashi Konishi MD, Reizo Kusukawa MD
Summary
We present a case of inferior-wall myocardial infarction associated with
thrombi in both the right ventricle and right atrium. Routine transthoracic
echocardiography cannot detect these thrombi while transesophageal echocardiography
provided an excellent image of the thrombi. The right atrium or right ventricle
may be the site for thrombi presumably due to both right ventricular
and right atrial infarction in acute inferior-wall infarction.
