Right atrial thrombosis associated with central venous catheters in children with cancer

P Wacker et al. Med Pediatr Oncol. 1994.

Abstract

Right atrial thrombosis (RAT) is infrequently diagnosed in children with cancer. Once RAT is documented, medical fibrinolysis or surgical thrombectomy is recommended. A RAT was documented in a child with lymphoma and was successfully lysed with recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator. The case is presented and therapeutic options reviewed.
