Key result
Palliative surgeries such as endovascular aortic repair and bypass can be used to treat aortic sarcoma, as demonstrated in a 56-year-old man who survived for 37 months.
Case Report (n=1)
Aortic sarcoma should be considered as a possible etiology for massive aortic thrombus, and palliative surgeries like endovascular repair and bypass can be alternative treatments.

Consider aortic sarcoma in massive thrombus differentials; leaves open palliative endovascular strategies pending prospective data.
Aortic sarcoma is a rare entity. In this study, we report a case of a 56-year-old man with complaints of pain and numbness of bilateral lower extremities. An endovascular aortic repair was finally adopted to prevent recurrent embolic events. An endo-biopsy was performed and showed aortic sarcoma. Axillary bifemoral and femoro-femoral cross-over bypass surgeries were taken to supply blood to the lower extremities in the 6th month after the first operation. He finally passed away in the 37th month. Aortic sarcoma should be taken into consideration as one of the possible etiologies for massive thrombus in aorta. Palliative surgeries such as bypass, endovascular aortic repair can also be an alternative to treat aortic sarcoma.

Wu et al. (2018) conducted a case report in Primary aortic sarcoma (n=1). Endovascular aortic repair and bypass surgeries was evaluated on Clinical course and survival. Palliative surgeries such as endovascular aortic repair and bypass can be used to treat aortic sarcoma, as demonstrated in a 56-year-old man who survived for 37 months.
