Key result
Ascending aortic replacement and CABG successfully resolve ascending aortic mural thrombus with no 6-month recurrence.
Why the study?
Ascending aortic mural thrombus is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition that can cause limb ischemia, visceral ischemia, and stroke.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Ascending aortic replacement is an effective treatment for patients with ascending aortic mural thrombosis when anticoagulation fails.
May support surgery in refractory ascending aortic thrombus; leaves open need for prospective data before wider adoption.
Background Ascending aortic mural thrombus is a rare but potentially life-threatening disease. It can cause a variety of symptoms such as limb ischemia, visceral ischemia and stroke. Case presentation we present a 53-year-old male patient who accidentally be found a hypodense lesion with the wall of the ascending aorta of ascending aortic space-occupying lesion on by computed tomographic (CT) scan. After excluding tumor metastasis and determining anticoagulation therapy invalid, ascending aortic replacement and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)were performed. Conclusions Ascending aortic replacement is an effective treatment for patients with ascending aortic mural thrombosis.

Sun et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Ascending aortic mural thrombus (n=1). Ascending aortic replacement and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was evaluated on Patient recovery and recurrence of embolic phenomena. Ascending aortic replacement and coronary artery bypass grafting successfully treated a 53-year-old male with an ascending aortic mural thrombus, with no recurrence at 6 months.
