Patient clinical characteristics, device type, and lead characteristics were correlated with presence of thrombi. Most patients had congestive heart failure (84%), with an average left ventricular ejection fraction of 40%. Thrombi were seen with ICE in 26 of 86 patients (30%) but were seen on transthoracic echocardiography in only 1 of the 26 patients. Thrombi on ICE were mobile, averaged 18\u00b15.9 mm long by 4.4\u00b12.3 mm wide, and were more commonly identified in the right atrium (n=25) than in the right ventricle (n=5). Thrombi were associated with higher pulmonary artery systolic pressure: 39\u00b19 mm Hg with thrombi versus 33\u00b17 mm Hg without thrombi (odds ratio, 1.11; 95% confidence interval, 1.03 to 1.20;\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.01).
