JACC Case Rep. 2024 Aug 7;29(15):102407. doi: 10.1016/j.jaccas.2024.102407.

Abstract

Intracardiac thrombus is a rare but treatable complication following DeVega tricuspid annuloplasty in the setting of orthotopic heart transplantation. Consistent imaging in the post-transplantation period is therefore essential for early identification and management of thromboembolic complications.

Keywords: cardiac magnetic resonance; echocardiography; heart transplantation; tricuspid valve.
