Abstrakt: The performance of peroperative transesophageal echocardiography on a 60 year old woman with mitral and tricuspid valve disease discovered a previously undiagnosed thrombus in the right pulmonary artery that completely occluded the inferior lobar branches. Following valvular surgery, a successful thromboendarterectomy was performed.
