Catheter-Directed Low-Dose Tissue Plasminogen Activator for Treatment of Right Atrial Thrombus Caused by a Central Venous Catheter.

Catheter-related atrial thrombosis is a potentially deadly complication of central venous catheters. Options for treatment include surgical thrombectomy, systemic anticoagulation, and systemic thrombolysis, but the optimal method of treatment remains unknown. We describe a 48-year-old woman with a large right atrial thrombus who was successfully treated with localized recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (tPA).
