Abstract
Surgical thrombectomy is considered the gold standard approach for removal of thrombotic disease within the right heart (RiTH), however some patients have prohibitive surgical risk and the percutaneous approach has been increasingly popular in the past few years. In this manuscript, we present two case reports of patients with both acute and chronic right atrial thrombi; in whom elevated surgical risk deemed them not surgical candidates and both successfully underwent mechanical thrombectomy with Flow Triever suction catheter and En snare endovascular system. To our knowledge, these are the first reported cases of the use of both of these devices for treatment of RiTH.
