Complete resolution of right atrial free-floating thrombus after warfarin therapy in chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy: a case report
Journal Title: Jurnal Kedokteran dan Kesehatan Indonesia - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Free-floating right heart thrombus is a rare phenomenon and has dismal rognosis. The optimal management of free-floating right thrombus remains controversial with no clear consensus. We present a case of right atrial free-floating thrombus in 56-year-old woman in chemotherapy inducedcardiomyopathy. Three weeks of warfarin treatment showed complete thrombus resolution. To the best of our knowledge, no such case has previously been reported in Indonesia.
