Surgical management of catheter ‐related right atrial thrombus with superior vena cava syndrome A Case Report

We present the case of a 29‐year‐old female with end‐stage renal disease who was found to have a large right atrial thrombus associated with her tunneled dialysis catheter during preoperative workup for renal transplant. She exhibited signs and symptoms of sup erior vena cava syndrome and NYHA class III congestive heart failure. She was successfully treated with surgical thrombectomy and demonstrated rapid resolution of her symptoms postoperatively.
