Outcome of Endovascular Approach for Management of Thoracic Aortic Thrombus

This study details experience on the use of an endovascular technique for the management of TAT with a stent graft in five cases. Four of the cases were diagnosed with aortic arch thrombus, and one was diagnosed with distal descending aortic thrombus. All patients were females with age ranging from 44 to 71 years. Arterial embolism was the main clinical finding in most cases, which involved the upper extremities (n=1) and cerebral embolism (n=3), while one patient was asymptomatic.
