FLORES SANCHEZ, Amaury; HERNANDEZ-VELIZ, Damaris; ZORIO VALDES, Biolkis  and  CABALE VILARINO, María Beatriz. Right auricular thrombus with embolic risk during myocardial acute infarction. Rev cubana med [online]. 2012, vol.51, n.1, pp. 83-86. ISSN 0034-7523.

A mobile thrombus into the right auricle leads to a high risk of pulmonary embolism and its presence in a patient with auricular fibrillation during a acute myocardial infarction is uncommon. This is the case of a female patient presenting with acute myocardial infarction, auricular fibrillation and a mobile thrombus in right auricle with risk of pulmonary embolism, which disappeared after platelet, anticoagulant and anti-aggregating treatment.

Keywords : Right auricular thrombus; auricular fibrillation; acute myocardial infarction.
