A cirrhotic woman with a LeVeen shunt developed right atrial thrombi, acute bacterial endocarditis, and a major pulmonary embolus. The right atrial mural thrombi and resultant pulmonary emboli arose as a result of the placement of the venous end of the LeVeen shunt within the right atrium. This untoward event must be added to the growing list of complications associated with the placement of such catheters.
一名患有LeVeen分流术的肝硬化女性出现了右心房血栓、急性细菌性心内膜炎和严重的肺栓塞。右心房壁血栓及由此导致的肺栓塞是由于LeVeen分流术的静脉端放置在右心房内所致。这一不良事件必须被列入与这类导管放置相关的越来越多的并发症之中。
