Spontaneous resolution of right ventricular thrombus in congestive heart failure due to alcoholic cardiomyopathy: A case report.

ABSTRACT: Right ventricular thrombus (RVT) is rare, and differentiating it from other right ventricular masses is challenging. Additionally, clear guidelines for managing right heart thrombi, particularly type C thrombi, are lacking. A 44-year-old man with congestive heart failure secondary to alcoholic cardiomyopathy was admitted. Echocardiography revealed a highly mobile, elongated mass in the right ventricle, attached to the tendinous cords of the tricuspid valve. Initial treatment for heart failure was administered without anticoagulants. On the 13th day of admission, follow-up echocardiography showed no mass, and pulmonary computed tomography angiography indicated no abnormalities. The patient exhibited no symptoms of pulmonary embolism post-admission. We presumed the mass to be a thrombus, whi
