Abstract

Polycythemia vera (PV) is a myeloproliferative disorder, with significant risk for thrombotic complications. But intracardiac thrombosis and pulmonary embolism is a rare initial presentation of PV. We describe the case of female patient who presented with intracardiac thrombosis, pulmonary embolism and right sided heart failure. This case report presents a patient with very rare combination of polycythemia rubra vera and right heart thrombi along with pulmonary embolism who was successfully managed with anticoagulation and phlebotomy
