ABSTRACT

The approach of a right atrial thrombus could be challenging, there is a delicate balance risk/benefit between the thrombolytic therapy and mechanical or open thrombectomy. The AngioVac System (Vortex Medical, Norwell, MA) provides an innovative mechanical thrombectomy with promising results. The circuit typically includes a right internal jugular cannula for aspiration, distal venous access for reinfusion, extracorporeal tubing, and a filtration canister. We present a case of a right atrial thrombus, empyema and no pulmonary embolism, treated with the AngioVac Aspiration System.
