Article Synopsis
- Right heart thrombus in transit is a serious medical condition where a blood clot travels from deep veins to the right side of the heart and poses a high risk of pulmonary embolism.
- This condition has a mortality rate exceeding 40% and is often linked to complications from peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs).
- The cases presented emphasize the need for doctors to quickly use imaging techniques to diagnose potential issues in patients with PICCs, especially those with increased risk of venous thrombosis, while also stressing the importance of optimizing catheter insertion techniques.
