Two rare cases of right atrial pedunculated ball thrombus associated with constrictive pericarditis and systemic lupus erythematosus are reported. Under cardiopulmonary bypass, the large thrombus in each patient was removed with care to avoid pulmonary embolism. Both patients have been doing well postoperatively and warfarin has been administered to prevent a recurrence of intracardiac thrombotic episodes.
