Clot in transit (CIT) is a rare condition in which a venous thromboembolism becomes lodged in the right heart. It is seen in up to 18% of patients with massive pulmonary embolism, and if left untreated, mortality rates are between 80% and 100%. The identification and management of CIT are crucial. However, there are no current guidelines for the treatment of CIT. We present the case of a 44-year-old woman who was found to have CIT that was ultimately treated with medical management.
Clot in transit (CIT) is a dangerous entity that must be promptly managed.Risk factors for CIT include a history of heart failure, a pre-existing central venous catheter and recent hospitalization.New interventions are emerging for the treatment of CIT.
移行性血栓(CIT)是一种罕见的病症,即静脉血栓栓塞栓子滞留于右心。在高达18%的大面积肺栓塞患者中可见,若不治疗,死亡率在80%至100%之间。CIT的识别与处理至关重要。然而,目前尚无治疗CIT的指南。我们报告一例44岁女性患者,其被诊断为CIT,最终接受了药物治疗。
移行性血栓(CIT)是一种必须迅速处理的危险病症。CIT的危险因素包括心力衰竭病史、既往存在中心静脉导管以及近期住院。针对CIT的治疗正在出现新的干预措施。
