The development of thrombus on the tricuspid valve is very rare in adulthood and it needs special attention in clinical practice as it can be confused with vegetation or a tumour. Embolisation due to thrombus may have an acute and unexpected course with a detrimental prognosis and a high death rate during the first 24 h after diagnosis. In this report, we presented a case of mobile tricuspid valve thrombus detected by transthoracic echocardiography that led to recurrent pulmonary embolism.
三尖瓣血栓在成年期的形成非常罕见，在临床实践中需要特别关注，因为它可能与赘生物或肿瘤相混淆。血栓导致的栓塞可能会有急性且意想不到的病程，预后不良，在诊断后的头24小时内死亡率很高。在本报告中，我们介绍了一例经胸超声心动图检测到的三尖瓣活动血栓病例，该血栓导致了复发性肺栓塞。
