E-page Original Images: Giant right atrial thrombi associated with permanent hemodialysis catheter in a young patient: 3-dimensional echocardiography views

Thrombosis is a possible complication of central venous catheters utilized for hemodialysis. We report the case of a 25-year-old man with a previous chronic vascular hemodialysis catheter who was referred for routine echocardiogram due to persistent fewer. The rest of the physical examination was unremarkable. Electrocardiography showed normal sinus rhythm. We demonstrated the presence of a 37x36 mm rounded mass and pending of the free wall of the right atrium with normal ejection fraction [Video 1, Fig. 1 (2D images), Video 2, Fig. 2 (3-dimensional echocardiography images).
