Key result
A case of mobile thrombus of the thoracic aorta causing recurrent peripheral emboli was managed with an endovascular stent graft.
Case Report (n=1)
Endovascular stent grafting represents a potential therapeutic approach for managing mobile thrombus of the thoracic aorta causing recurrent peripheral emboli.
Endovascular stenting may be feasible for mobile aortic thrombus; this Level 5 case leaves open the need for comparative trials before practice change.
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 managed with endovascular stent graft.
