Abstract

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is considered a major cause of morbidity and mortality in both inpatient and outpatient settings. PE can be presented in different clinical pictures. However, the association between PE and right atrial thrombus is not frequently reported. PE is categorized based on size, location and clinical presentation. Although management changes between different PE sub-types, optimal medical therapy is not well established for coexisting PE with right atrial thrombus. Herein, we present a unique case of a 58-year-old male with bilateral PE and atrial thrombus, with no known underlying risk factors.
