| Sumario: | Catheter-related thrombosis is a common complication caused by central venous catheters. Although right atrial thrombosis is uncommon, it may lead to life-threatening situations. Here, we report 2 cases of neonates with massive catheter-related right atrial thrombosis after congenital heart disease surgery. During therapeutic management, we attempted different treatments but failed to clear the mass. Finally, we found thrombectomy to be the most effective method for treating massive catheter-related right atrial thrombosis with favourable results. |
