title: Concurrent mobile and in situ types of right heart thrombi.
abstract: Right-sided heart thrombus is a life-threatening condition that necessitates immediate therapy. Detection of right-sided heart thrombus is usually via transthoracic echocardiography. Generally, thrombolysis is considered a treatment of choice, but there is currently no consensus about the optimal therapeutic choice. We present a case of multiple right atrial thrombi with concurrent mobile and broad-based in situ thrombi in a patient with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which was completely resolved by thrombolysis following a failed Heparin infusion. The patient was sent home in good clinical condition and was stable at 3 months' follow-up.
