Thrombus-in-transit appears to increase the risk of mortality compared to pulmonary embolism alone and can require alteration in therapeutic plan. We present the case of a biatrial thromboembolus caught in transit across a patent foramen ovale diagnosed by intraoperative transesophageal echocardiogram in a 69-year-old female with acute pulmonary embolism and subsequent acute cerebral infarction. We suggest that echocardiography should be performed in a patient with suspected pulmonary thromboembolism to evaluate right heart function and diagnose emboli in transit.
与单纯肺栓塞相比,移行性血栓似乎会增加死亡风险,可能需要改变治疗方案。在此,我们报告一例69岁的急性肺栓塞及随后急性脑梗死女性患者,术中经食管超声心动图诊断为伴卵圆孔未闭的双房移行性血栓栓塞。我们建议,对于疑似肺血栓栓塞的患者应进行超声心动图检查,以评估右心功能并诊断移行性栓子。
