Floating thrombus in the aortic arch as an origin of simultaneous peripheral emboli

Abbas Soleimani et al. J Card Surg. 2008 Nov-Dec.

Abstract

Few cases of a floating thrombus in a normal aorta have been reported without other underlying reasons for the thrombus formation and its systemic embolic complications. We report a case in which a floating thrombus in the proximal aortic arch was detected after echocardiography and computed tomography angiography as an origin of upper extremities and ophthalmic embolism.
