Abstract

Some cases of thrombi at the ascending and descending aorta have been reported, but there are only a few reports of intraluminal aortic arch thrombi. Most intraluminal thrombi are associated with atherosclerotic lesions at the aortic wall. Here, we report a case of an intraluminal thrombus attached to the lesser curvature of the aortic arch. The thrombus was successfully and completely excised, and the pathologic study suggested no obvious atherosclerotic changes in the aortic wall. Two months after surgical removal of the thrombus, the patient suffered a severe cerebral ischemic stroke caused by a newly formed thromboembolism in the innominate artery.

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
