Key result
Floating thrombus in the ascending aorta is a rare condition with poorly defined treatment strategies that depend primarily on the clinical experience of the treating team.
Why the study?
Floating thrombus in the ascending aorta is rare, challenging, and treatment strategies are poorly defined and largely dependent on team clinical experience.
This case study discusses the underlying pathology, treatment options, and patient management for the rare finding of a floating thrombus in the ascending aorta.
Floating aortic thrombi require experience-based decisions; leaves open standardized protocols pending higher-level evidence.
A floating thrombus formation in the ascending aorta is a rare finding, which poses great challenges for treating physicians. Treatment strategies for this pathology are poorly defined and mainly depending on the clinical experience of the team. Using a case study, we discuss the underlying pathology, treatment options and patient management.
