This report presents the case of a 62-year-old male with a history of chronic alcohol abuse who developed deep vein thrombosis (DVT) complicated by extensive bilateral pulmonary embolism (PE) and a right atrial thrombus. The presence of a right atrial thrombus in conjunction with PE and DVT is a rare and serious clinical presentation, often associated with a high thrombotic burden and increased risk of mortality. The patient initially presented with worsening shortness of breath following an occupational injury that resulted in a left heel laceration, subsequently leading to a significant thromboembolic event.

The patient was a 22-year-old volleyball player, and we presumed that sudden chest wall compression that occurred during volleyball displaced the lung next to the adhesion inwardly and caused the lung laceration.
