Right atrial thrombus is a rare complication of hemodialysis catheter with an incidence of <6 %. New-onset atrial fibrillation can be the first symptom of catheter-related right atrial thrombus (CRAT) in a patient with long-term dialysis catheter. Therefore, evaluation for CRAT is justified in such scenario. We highlight a case report where a new-onset atrial fibrillation led to the discovery of a right atrial thrombus in a patient with long-term dialysis catheter.
右心房血栓是血液透析导管罕见的并发症,发生率<6%。新发房颤可能是长期透析导管患者导管相关性右心房血栓(CRAT)的首发症状。因此,在这种情况下对CRAT进行评估是合理的。我们重点介绍一例病例报告,一名新发房颤患者因长期透析导管导致右心房血栓被发现。
