Right Ventricular Thrombus Detection and Multimodality Imaging Using Contrast Echocardiography and Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Impact of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging on heart failure patients referred to a tertiary advanced heart failure unit: improvements in diagnosis and management

“…CMR demonstrated superior ability to detect intracardiac thrombus compared with TTE, despite the use of Definity microsphere contrast (Lantheus Medical Imaging, Inc., N. Billerica, MA, USA), as has been shown in previous work . However, the incidence of thrombus in our study was relatively small (5%).…”

Unexpected death due to a biventricular thrombosis: Case report and review of literature

“…From a diagnostic point of view, the utility of multimodality imaging using contrast echocardiography, cardiac computer tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging has been demonstrated. 8 , 9 Treatment is related to the efficacy of the antithrombotic drug and risk of embolisation or bleeding. 10…”

Recent Inferior Myocardial Infarction Complicated with a Right Ventricular Thrombus Detected by Three Cardiac Imaging Modalities

“…This was a case of inferior myocardial infarction complicated by a thrombus in the RV. The delayed presentation of RV myocardial infarction affects thrombus formation ( 2 , 3 ) because primary percutaneous coronary intervention can improve the RV wall motion ( 4 ), whereas delayed reperfusion can lead to thrombus formation ( 5 ). Cases with a recent RV infarction require assessment for thrombus formations in the RV.…”
