A 54-year-old male is admitted with COVID-19 pneumonia and received prophylactic anticoagulation. On day 8, the patient rapidly deteriorated requiring urgent endotracheal intubation. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed large right atrial thrombus in transient, resulting in pulmonary embolism and severe RV failure; fibrinolytic therapy was not effective and the patient passed away.
