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.)
