2.5 cm clot on the arterial tip

Posted By G. Steven Acres, Friday, February 24, 2017
Had a patient today with catheter malfunction and sent for exchange.  She had an infected catheter removed two months ago and then exchanged 2-3 days ago for malfunction and returned unable to function again.  Did cathetergram showing 2.5 cm clot at the tip of the arterial side split tip catheter in the superior RA .  Stopped at that point and sent for anticoagulation.  Thoughts on course.  Looked but not a lot of data.
