Spontaneous Microbubbles in Transit in the Right Cardiac Chambers.
We present two patients with echocardiographically detected small echoes passing through the right heart cavities, consistent with the clinical picture of thromboemboli. After anticoagulant treatment, pulmonary artery pressure fell and the echocardiographic picture of small echoes in transit disappeared. In the authors' opinion, the detected echoes passing through the right heart represented microthromboemboli in transit. (ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY, Volume 13, July 1996)
