case_images: (A) Blue arrow showed a mass in the right ventricle, which was later confirmed thrombus by surgery. (B) Four chamber view showed the mosaic blood flowing through the stenotic right ventricular inflow tract. (C) Two and a half years after tricuspid valve replacement and thrombectomy, a recurrence of thrombus (indicated by red arrow) was seen in the right ventricular inflow tract by transesophageal echocardiography.

case_images: Echocardiography revealed a hypoechoic mass attached to the RVIT (Figure 1C), and contrast echocardiography showed no perfusion in the mass.

case_images: (A) Four chamber view showed masses in both of the ventricular apex (red arrows). (B) Contrast echocardiography showed no perfusion in both apical masses (green arrows), which suggested thrombi. (C) Follow-up at six months later, both ventricular apical thrombi were disappeared.

case_images: It also showed that there were masses in both ventricular apexes with a small amount of pericardial effusion (Figure 2A). Contrast echocardiography showed no perfusion in either of the ventricular apical masses (Figure 2B). During the regular outpatient follow-up visits, eosinophil count, IgG, and IgE levels returned to the normal range, electrocardiogram returned to a normal pattern, LVEF was improved to above 50%, and mural thrombi in both ventricles disappeared in echocardiography (Figure 2C).
