Organized thrombus of the tricuspid valve mimicking valvular tumor

Large Organized Thrombus of the Tricuspid Valve: Report of a Case

“…They suspected that the stagnation of blood fl ow around the pouch of a septal leafl et had caused thrombus formation. 7 Our patient did not have a VSD or any other structures that may have caused the stagnation of blood fl ow.…”

Carotid Artery Stenting

“…7 In the only adult case described before ours, the organized thrombus was associated with 2 anatomical anomalies: a ventricular septal defect and a pouch of the tricuspid valve, both causing stagnation of blood. 8 Our report 1 is the first involving an apparently normal functioning right ventricle in a patient with coronary artery disease; and the report from Saxena and coworkers 2 is the first in a structurally normal heart of a young woman. Interestingly, in all 3 of these cases the mass was attached to the atrial surface of the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve.…”

Thrombus Formation on the Tricuspid Valve After De Vega’s Annuloplasty and Repair of Endocardial Cushion Defect

“…Stagnation of blood around the septal leaflet pouch was thought to be responsible for thrombus formation. 3 Mario et al reported another case of tricuspid thrombus in a patient with mild hyperhomocysteinemia who underwent tricuspid ring annuloplasty and ASD repair. 4 Moreover, tricuspid valve thrombosis was reported in two separate cases with no known cardiac anomaly or coagulopathy.…”
