Thrombus in the Right Atrium and Around the Pulmonary Artery Catheter after Central Venous Catheterization: A case report

Abstract

Vascular thrombosis is a major complication associated with the use of central venous catheters, and its' risk varies according to the site of insertion and duration of catheterization. We present a case with thrombus in the right atrium and around the pulmonary artery catheter after central venous catheterization. The case who had undergone open mitral commissurotomy for mitral stenosis, underwent re-do surgery for mitral valve replacement 2 months later. During the first operation, a central venous catheter was inserted into the right internal jugular vein and was removed 4 days after the operation. During the second operation, a central catheter was inserted into the same vein, and pulmonary artery catheter was inserted without any difficulty. During cardiopulmonary bypass, a thrombus was seen around the pulmonary artery catheter and free thrombus particles were present in the right atrium. All thrombus particles which were seen in the right atrium were removed and the operation was completed without any complication. If the choosen vein for central catheterization is used before, the possibility of a thrombus should be considered, and venous ultrasonography should be performed before the catheterization.
