Cardiac Fresh Thrombus Following Cardiac Surgery: A Intraoperative Transesophageal Echocardiographic Diagnosis
A 59-year-old male who underwent the Bentall procedure developed a newly identified echogenic mass in the right heart, detected via intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Thrombectomy under TEE guidance successfully removed the thrombus, and the patient recovered well. TEE was crucial for the real-time detection and management of this rare complication.
