Abstract
In two hemodynamically unstable patients, massive pulmonary embolism and fr ee-floating right cardiac thrombi were diagnosed. Thrombolytic therapy was contraindicated and surgical treatment was rejected. In these two cases, we describe a successful non-surgical, percutaneous extraction of mobile righ t cardiac thrombi.
