Embolizing Massive Right Atrial Thrombus in a HIV-Infected Patient

The risk of thromboembolism is increased when associated with the human immunodeficiency viral (HIV) infection. Various factors are involved in promoting thrombosis, and the presence of a patent foramen ovale augments the potential for a paradoxical embolism. We describe the case of a 56-year-old ma...

description The risk of thromboembolism is increased when associated with the human immunodeficiency viral (HIV) infection. Various factors are involved in promoting thrombosis, and the presence of a patent foramen ovale augments the potential for a paradoxical embolism. We describe the case of a 56-year-old man receiving antiretroviral therapy with features of right heart failure and pulmonary embolism. Due to the high incidence of life-threatening thromboembolism in the HIV-infected group, the need for long-term anticoagulation has to be evaluated.
