Data Files:
- Echo Loop (mp4 format)
-
Immediately after the release of the pressure tourniquet (inflation time=113 minutes), multiple small emboli were seen passing through the right atrium. These were soon followed by the large horseshoe shaped embolus shown in figure 1. Acute right atrial dilation was then observed as indicated by the leftward bulging of the atrial septum (figure 2).
