Description
Khalid Zrigui and co-authors present a case report dated 2026 on a dangerous moving blood clot. An eighty-year-old man came in with worsening breathlessness and very low blood oxygen. Scans showed clots blocking both lung arteries, a condition called pulmonary embolism.
An ultrasound of the heart found a long, snake-like clot floating in the right atrium. It slipped toward the right ventricle with each beat, raising the risk of a total blockage. His heart showed strain and high pressure in the lung arteries. Because he was stable but at high risk of bleeding, clot-dissolving drugs were not used. He received heparin by vein for five days, then a blood thinner by mouth, and the case was managed without surgery.
