Intracardiac masses are not uncommon, but a calcified right atrial thrombus (CRAT) is an exceedingly rare entity and often poses a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma. We discuss the case of an incidentally noted CcRAT in a 40-year-old man presenting with progressive dyspnea. We further review the literature on the subject, highlighting the need for an individual patient-centred care plan.
心内肿物并不罕见,但钙化的右心房血栓(CRAT)是一种极其罕见的情况,常常带来诊断和治疗上的两难困境。我们讨论了一例在一名因进行性呼吸困难就诊的40岁男性中偶然发现的CRAT病例。我们进一步回顾了关于该主题的文献,强调了制定以患者个体为中心的护理计划的必要性。
