    Right atrial 'thrombus in transit' and atrial septal defect in a 70-year-old man: cardioembolic source of pulmonary and paradoxical cerebral embolization
    (Kluwer Academic Publ, 2004) Yazıcı, Mehmet; Dinçkal, M. Hakan; Davutoğlu, Vedat; Soydinç, Serdar; Akdemir, İlyas; Karaca, Mustafa
    A 70-year-old man was admitted with sudden onset of dyspnea, near syncope and left hemiparesis. Clinical examination, blood gas analysis, ECG and the chest X-ray were consistent with pulmonary embolism. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) revealed right atrial free-floating thrombus, large atrial septal defect (ASD), right heart enlargement and pulmonary artery hypertension. Anticoagulation therapy was initiated immediately, soon after thrombolytic therapy was started but the patient died due to possible pulmonary or cerebral embolization. We underscore rapid diagnosis by TTE that revealed right heart thrombus in transit and large ASD.

    Transient cortical blindness after cardiac catheterization with iobitridol
    (Texas Heart Inst, 2007) Yazıcı, Mehmet; Özhan, Hakan; Kınay, Ozan; Kılıçaslan, Barış; Karaca, Mustafa; Çeçe, Hasan; Ergene, Oktay
    The occurrence rate of transient cortical blindness after contrast media exposure has been reported to be as high as 1% to 4% after cerebral or vertebral angiography, but such blindness has been described in only a few cases of coronary angiography with modem, non-ionic, low-osmolality radio-contrast agents. In this study we present a case of abrupt cortical blindness after exposure to contrast media during diagnostic coronary angiography; to our knowledge, this is the 1st report in the medical literature that describes transient cortical blindness after iobitridol use.
