Cardiac mass many years after heart transplantation-a case report.

ABSTRACT: The bi-atrial surgical technique of heart transplantation is associated with postoperative atrial dysfunction, sinus node dysfunction, valvular dysfunction, and bi-atrial enlargement predisposing to atrial arrhythmia with thrombus formation. This report deals with a very late thrombus formation in the neo-atrium of a heart transplanted using the bi-atrial technique. The absence of arrhythmia and absence of any history of intake of prothrombotic medications make it noteworthy.
