Incidentally Found Ascending Aortic Thrombus
Nicolas Quach, Melissa Medina, Élan Burton
Abstract
Aortic thrombus can be rare, requiring prompt recognition and management to prevent sequelae. Treatment modalities for aortic thrombus include systemic anticoagulation, endovascular, and/or surgical intervention. We present an incidental finding of an aortic annular mass in a 53-year-old male consistent with an aortic thrombus. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
