Catheter‐induced thrombus in the superior vena cava diagnosed by transesophageal echocardiography

Abstract

In a case of catheter-induced superior vena cava thrombosis with septicemia and pulmonary embolism, bedside TEE was very helpful to make the correct diagnosis early, assess thrombus size during anticoagulation, and monitor cardiac performance and thrombus disposition during central venous catheter removal.
