Özet

The case is presented of a 26-year-old man with Behçet's disease in whom a large and highly mobile right atrial thrombus was detected. Gradual lysis was achieved after two successive infusions of 1,500,000 units of streptokinase guided by serial transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography.
