Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, University of Alabama, Birmingham.

Formation of massive right atrial thrombi around a peritoneovenous shunt is a known complication of these devices.

Transesophageal echocardiography was used in this case to diagnose and guide the surgical removal of a massive right atrial thrombus.
