Live three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiographic assessment of thrombus in the innominate veins and superior vena cava utilizing right parasternal and supraclavicular approaches.
We report the usefulness of right parasternal and supraclavicular live three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography in the delineation and follow-up of a thrombus involving a catheter placed in superior vena cava for dialysis in an adult patient with chronic renal disease.
