Huge Fresh Mobile Thrombus Attached to the Descending Thoracic Aorta

https://e-kcj.org A healthy 48-year-old woman presented with new onset left side weakness. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed new onset cerebral infarction in the left lateral medulla oblongata and occlusion of the left vertebral artery in the V3 to V4 segments. To find the cause of the cerebral infarction, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) wer...

Pedunculated haemangiopericytoma attached to the thoracic aorta.

Endovascular treatment for mobile thrombus of the thoracic aorta.

Detection levels of mobile thrombus of the thoracic aorta have greatly increased after any embolic event. Although the indication for treatment remains controversial, there is a growing interest about the etiopathogenesis of this rare entity and to define proper diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. We present a case of mobile thrombus of the thoracic aorta causing recurrent peripheral emboli ...

Tuberculous pseudoaneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta.

Tuberculous mycotic aortic aneurysm is a rare disease with a high mortality rate.(1-5) Its prevalent location is the descending thoracic aorta in the patient with disseminated tuberculosis. Most of these aneurysms have been of the pseudoaneurysm type. We report the case of a 37-year-old woman with tuberculous pseudoaneurym of the descending aorta that was initially mistaken for a lung lesion an...

Functional chiral asymmetry in descending thoracic aorta.

To determine whether rotational blood flow or chiral asymmetry exists in the human descending thoracic aorta, we established the ability of color Doppler ultrasound to detect rotational flow in a tornado tube model of a vortex descending fluid column. In a model of the human aortic arch with a pulse duplicator, color Doppler was then used to demonstrate that rotational flow occurs first in the ...
