Triple emergencies: Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state, venous thromboembolism, and huge free ‐floating right heart thrombus successfully managed with anticoagulation

In a resource-constrained setting, therapeutic anticoagulation though less favored may be helpful with a favorable outcome in the absence of an optimal therapeutic strategy in patients with HHS who develop VTE and right heart thrombus. AbstractA 57-year-old man, with type 2 diabetes mellitus, was admitted with a hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state, who developed in-hospital venous thromboembolism with huge free-floating right heart thrombus, and there is no available optimal treatment option for the huge free-floating right heart thrombus, except anticoagulation with warfarin and low molecular weight heparin with successful outcome.
