Right ventricular clot-in-transit (CIT) is a rare finding in venous thromboembolic disease and carries a high mortality rate. Its optimal treatments have yet to be established in the literature. Here we describe the usage of a suction-based catheter, the INARI FlowTriever® system (INARI Medical Inc.) to successfully retrieve a CIT from the right ventricle of a patient with coronavirus disease 2019 acute respiratory distress syndrome on veno-veno extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
