Abstract
We report here a case of right atrial thrombus diagnosed by echocardiography in a 25-year-old female patient with Hodgkin's disease receiving chemotherapy and heparin. After 24 hours therapy with the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist (abciximab) with concomitant heparin the complete dissolution of the thrombus could be demonstrated by transesophageal echocardiography. To our knowledge this case represents the first use of abciximab in right atrial thrombosis.Entities:
