Floating Thrombus in Aortic Arch
نویسندگان
چکیده
Floating thrombi in the aortic arch are very rare and an unusual source of systemic embolism. Herein, a case of a 3-cm thrombus in the aortic arch is reported. It was a floating, highly mobile thrombus attached to the lesser curvature of the aortic arch. The patients had a hypercoagulable disorder induced by protein C and S deficiency. The thrombus was operatively removed with a favorable outcome.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/0100-3984.2016.0083 Because of the high risk of massive systemic embolization, it is considered necessary to treat a free-floating thrombus in the aortic arch. However, the ideal treatment remains undefined. Although the use of a thrombolytic is considered one of the options, it carries the risk of selective lysis of the pedicle of the lesion, which would have catastro...

Multidetector computed tomography has been shown to be accurate in noninvasive assessment of chest vascular disease. The motion artifacts of the thoracic aorta and the supra-aortic vessels were significantly reduced in the electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated data acquisition. This positive effect of ECG synchronization is more pronounced in the region of the ascending aorta, aortic arch, and proximal...
