Introduction And Importance: This case highlights the importance of echocardiography in diagnosing pulmonary embolism and the need for careful timing of preoperative transesophageal echocardiogram in patients with potentially detachable intracardiac masses as a tumor detachment during TEE led to a life-threatening pulmonary embolism.

Case Presentation: A 30-year-old man with a history of treated pulmonary embolism had progressive dyspnea. Tests revealed a mass in the right atrium and a new pulmonary embolism.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the effectiveness of anticoagulant treatments for nonocclusive thrombi in patients with acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack, revealing that both unfractionated and low molecular weight heparin were used on 52 patients diagnosed via CT angiography.
  • - Results showed that 96% of patients achieved complete thrombus resolution within two weeks, with cervical segment internal carotid arteries being the most affected; common underlying conditions included atherosclerosis and atrial fibrillation.
  • - Importantly, no major bleeding complications arose from anticoagulant use, leading to favorable functional outcomes post-treatment as assessed by the modified Rankin scale.

Despite significant improvements in materials and implantation techniques, these patients are exposed to higher risk of device related complications than general population. Herein, we describe our single tertiary referral center experience on transvenous pacemaker (PM) implantation and follow-up in adult patients with moderate and complex congenital heart disease (CHD) as limited data are available on long-term outcome.
