Abstract

Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) are widely used in primary prevention for cardiomyopathy patients.

A 57-year-old male with dilated cardiomyopathy post ICD implantation was found to have an incidental asymptomatic echocardiogram finding of a mobile thrombus attached to the tip of the ICD wire in the right atrium. The thrombosis is probably due to a hypercoagulability state in patient with Cardiomyopathy and MALT lymphoma. The purpose of this case report is to highlight accidental discoveries of ICD wire thrombi and the appropriate therapeutic strategy.
