Paciente com cardiopatia chagásica cr?nica, esquistossomose hepatoesplênica e síndrome da imunodeficiência adquirida: possível resolu??o espontanea de trombo no ventrículo direitoDOI: 10.1590/S0037-86822012000200025 Keywords: thrombus, right ventricle, chagas heart disease. Abstract: the presence of right-sided cardiac thrombi seems to increase the risk of death due to thromboembolic events. there is a discrepancy, however, between the prevalence of cardiac thrombus and clinical thromboembolic events. besides, the individual characteristics associated with a high risk of mortality have not been established. we present here a case report of a patient with mansonic schistosomiasis and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and chronic chagas disease, who presents with a large thrombus in the right ventricle. the patient had uneventful evolution without any thromboembolic complications with resolution of right-ventricle thrombus.
