文摘

Thoracic aorta mural thrombosis (TAMT) is uncommon pathology with potentially catastrophic complications due to recurrent spontaneous distal embolization. Best treatment, medical or surgical, is still under debate especially in high-risk patients. Endovascular approach by means of thoracic endoprosthesis seems to be a feasible and minimally invasive treatment option. We report a successful treatment of symptomatic TAMT using a thoracic aortic stent graft in a high-risk patient for open repair and contraindication to systemic anticoagulation.
