A 78 year old woman with congestive cardiac failure developed pulmonary embolism. Cross sectional echocardiography detected an undulating fusiform mass attached to the lateral wall of the right atrium and protruding through the tricuspid valve. Serial cross sectional echocardiograms showed a reduction in the size of the mass, and by three months the mass was immobile and attached by a broad base to the lateral atrial wall. The mass was assumed to be a thrombus, and treatment with heparin and oral anticoagulants appeared to prevent the development of further pulmonary emboli.
一名78岁的充血性心力衰竭女性发生了肺栓塞。经胸超声心动图检查发现一个起伏的梭形肿块附着于右心房侧壁并经三尖瓣突出。系列经胸超声心动图显示肿块大小缩小，至三个月时肿块固定，以宽基底附着于右心房侧壁。该肿块被推测为血栓，肝素及口服抗凝剂治疗似乎预防了进一步肺栓塞的发生。
