✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Right atrial thrombosis (RAT) is infrequently diagnosed in children with cancer. Once RAT is documented, medical fibrinolysis or surgical thrombectomy is recommended. A RAT was documented in a child with lymphoma and was successfully lysed with recombinant tissue‐type plasminogen activator. The case is presented and therapeutic options reviewed.

Central venous catheters (CVC's) placed to access the venous system are routinely used in the intensive care of children requiring prolonged intravenous therapy for cancer. The use of such catheters are justified particularly in young children to reduce the number of painful procedures and facilitat
