Right atrial thrombus is an uncommon yet potentially life-threatening complication associated with central venous catheterization. We report an unusual case of catheter-associated right atrial thrombosis (CRAT) in a patient receiving maintenance hemodialysis, who presented with recurrent thrombus on the fifth day following surgical thrombectomy. This report summarizes the clinical presentation, diagnostic modalities, and management strategies for CRAT. Our intention is to improve clinicians' awareness of this complication and provide practical insights into optimal management in hemodialysis patients.
右心房血栓是一种与中心静脉置管相关的罕见但可能危及生命的并发症。我们报告了一例接受维持性血液透析患者发生的导管相关性右心房血栓形成(CRAT)的不寻常病例,该患者在手术取栓术后第五天出现复发性血栓。本报告总结了CRAT的临床表现、诊断方法和管理策略。我们的目的是提高临床医生对这种并发症的认识,并为血液透析患者的最佳管理提供实用见解。
