CTICasesMassive non-occlusive thrombus lining native aorta
[...]. Massive non-occlusive thrombus lining native aorta. CTICases. Published September 6, 2019. https://str-case-explorer.pages.dev/c/wv4gb
Imaging findings
CT scan shows extensive, thick laminar thrombus lining the entire native ascending aorta, aortic arch, and abdominal aorta, accompanied by a right atrial appendage thrombus, prior left ventricular infarct, and pulmonary emboli with right lower lobe infarction.
Key takeaways
Massive, non-occlusive native aortic thrombus is a rare and dangerous source of systemic emboli. It is often associated with hypercoagulable states or severe cardiovascular disease, and can extend from the ascending aorta down into the abdominal aorta.
