Abstract: Thrombi in the right atrium are rare and almost always associated with pulmonary embolism. Despite having high mortality, they are misdiagnosed and therefore underestimated in daily medical practice. The importance of echocardiography (TTE and TEE) in diagnosing thrombi in the right atrium and then in evaluating further treatment is to be emphasized. We present the case of a patient with two thrombi of different types in the right atrium.
