Left upper arm deep venous Doppler US in a 62-year-old man with PICC-ASVT. A-B: lower left jugular vein showing intraluminal echogenic material (white arrow), next to the PICC tip inside the left subclavian vein (blue arrow). C: color Doppler US shows absence of flow direction. The spectral Doppler US analysis also demonstrated an absence of flow (not shown). US: Ultrasound; PICC: peripherally inserted central catheter; PICC-ASVT: PICCassociated symptomatic venous thrombosis.

... 4 (33.3%) of 12 cases with PICC-ASVT, an increased risk (OR 5, 95% CI, 1.4 - 17.7) was observed when the catheter tip was in the left jugular vein (n = 1), right subclavian vein (n = 2), or left subclavian vein (n = 1). Figure 3 shows the presence of a venous thrombus next to the PICC tip at the confluence of the left jugular and left subclavian veins. The locations of PICC-ASVT in the 12 patients are described in Table 4. Deep vein thrombosis was the most common (n = 7, 58.3%), and the right basilic vein was the most involved (n = 4, 33.4%). ...

Right heart thrombus in transit or “free-floating right heart thrombus” is defined as thrombus(i) arising from the deep veins that embolises to the right atrium or right ventricle before reaching the pulmonary vasculature. It is almost always associated with pulmonary thromboembolism and is a medical emergency with reported mortality rates of over...
