Formation of massive right atrial thrombi around a peritoneovenous shunt is a known complication of these devices. Removal of an obstructive right atrial thrombus requires cardiopulmonary bypass and has been associated with a high morbidity and mortality. Transesophageal echocardiography was used in this case to diagnose and guide the surgical removal of a massive right atrial thrombus.
腹膜静脉分流周围形成巨大右房血栓是这些装置已知的一种并发症。清除阻塞性右房血栓需要体外循环，且与高发病率和死亡率相关。本例中使用经食管超声心动图来诊断并指导手术清除巨大右房血栓。
