We compared their demographic data, clinical symptoms, laboratory tests, imaging findings, treatment strategies, and prognoses. Additionally, we summarized data from 33 confirmed SMPP-related ICT cases reported in 12 references.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>In our cohort, the ICT group exhibited higher incidences of tachypnea, chest pain, inflammation, and elevated D-dimer levels. They also presented more severe radiological findings and had longer hospital stays compared to the non-ICT group. The chordae tendineae-attached was the most common type (61.1%). Pathological examinations revealed ICT sizes ranging from 480 to 31,500\u00a0mm\u00b3. A favorable prognosis was observed in 94.4% of ICT patients. Clinical features did not significantly differ between various ICT types. In the overall cohort (51 cases), the right ventricle was the predominant location (68.6%). Notably, 66.7% of patients had concurrent extracardiac thrombosis, with pulmonary thrombosis being the most common subtype (41.2%).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The clinical characteristics of SMPP-related ICT are non-specific, often coexisting with severe pulmonary lesions and significantly elevated inflammatory markers. All ICT types were chordae tendineae or wall-attached, rather than mobile. These findings suggest that an inflammation storm induced by SMPP may play a significant role in the pathogenesis of in situ thrombosis within the heart and major blood vessels.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13052-025-01890-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,11]],"date-time":"2025-02-11T18:15:15Z","timestamp":1739297715000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Clinical features of intracardiac thrombotic complication in patients with severe Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"51","author":[{"given":"Xiao","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bo","family":"Zhai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yu","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chunna","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lili","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yanqiong","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yanyan","family":"Su","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhen","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haiming","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-3206-610X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuelin","family":"Shen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,11]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"1890_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"421","DOI":"10.1002\/jmv.24963","volume":"90","author":"H Oumei","year":"2018","unstructured":"Oumei H, Xuefeng W, Jianping L, et al.
