Abstract

Thrombi mainly form in the left heart chambers, particularly in dilated atria and in the context of atrial fibrillation. The presence of thrombi in the right atrium is uncommon; they are more often the result of peripheral venous circulation emboli, and less frequently, they originate in situ. In Latin America, the incidence of deep vein thrombosis is approximately 1 case per 1,000 people per year, and that of pulmonary embolism is 0.5 cases per 1,000 people per year. This clinical case presents a 64-year-old male patient diagnosed with a serpentine thrombus in the right atrium and dilated right heart chambers, successfully treated with oral anticoagulation.
