The presence of a central venous catheter is recognized as a risk factor for thrombus formation, particularly when inappropriately advanced into the right atrium. The integration of CMR into the diagnostic pathway enabled precise thrombus identification and guidance for treatment in this population with a complex balance between cancer-related thrombotic and haemorrhagic risks.
