A 58-year-old male underwent LVAD-Implantation after ECLS explantation. After removal of ECLS (A) transesophageal echocardiography revealed thrombus in the inferior vena cava (B) and right atrium (C). The thrombus was removed with a second pump run including RVAD-Implantation. (D) The diameter of thrombus formations was 6 × 1 cm and 5 × 1.5 cm.
