    Author: Nakajima M, Tsuchiya K, Honda Y, Koshiyama H, Kobayashi T.
    Journal: Gen Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 2009 Dec; 57(12):654-6. PubMed ID: 20013100.
    Abstract:
    Although the causes of stroke are diverse, thromboembolism due to a mobile aortic thrombus is rare. We describe a surgical case of acute massive pulmonary embolism after critical cerebral infarction associated with a mobile ascending aortic thrombus in a 52-year-old woman. Concomitant surgical removal of the aortic thrombus and pulmonary embolectomy was performed successfully, and the patient has been stable without recurrent thromboembolic complications after 18 months of follow-up.
