Floating Thrombus in the Aortic Arch: Rare Images
Aorta (Stamford).
2024 Feb.
Abstract
Aortic floating thrombus is a rare, life-threatening disease. Most cases of aortic thrombus are diagnosed after embolic events; however, on rare occasion we may diagnose this condition incidentally during routine examinations as in our case.
