A case of asymptomatic thoracic aorta mural thrombi

I Hassan et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 2001 Nov.

Abstract

The natural history, prognostic significance, and optimal therapy of asymptomatic thoracic aorta mural thrombi detected incidentally is not well defined in the literature. We report a case of asymptomatic thoracic aorta mural thrombi in a 42-year-old woman with a history of smoking and steroid use that was conservatively managed with anticoagulation and had a favorable outcome.
