[...]. Aortic Thrombus vs. Smoke. CTICases. Published November 17, 2022. https://str-case-explorer.pages.dev/c/87mvq
Imaging findings
Aortic "smoke" (stasis) in an aneurysmal arch vs. discreet, sharp filling defects indicative of thrombus.
Key takeaways
Distinguish between benign aortic smoke (often associated with low flow) and true thrombus. Intra-aortic balloon pumps can predispose patients to thrombus formation and embolization.
