Key result
Surgical extraction of free-floating thrombi in the ascending aorta and left ventricle, followed by anticoagulation, successfully treated recurrent syncope and prevented embolic complications.
Why the study?
Aortic thrombi are rare entities requiring precise diagnosis and management, with variable treatment strategies and an absence of established guidelines.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Early surgical intervention combined with anticoagulation is a feasible and safe option for managing rare free-floating thrombi in the aorta and left ventricle to prevent life-threatening embolic events.
Supports consideration of surgical thrombectomy plus anticoagulation in rare free-floating thrombi; leaves open need for prospective validation.

Nazer et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Free-floating thrombus in the aorta and left ventricle (n=1). Surgical thrombectomy was evaluated on Successful surgical removal and prevention of recurrence/embolization. Surgical extraction of free-floating thrombi in the ascending aorta and left ventricle, followed by anticoagulation, successfully treated recurrent syncope and prevented embolic complications.
