  • Title: Floating aortic thrombus: aortic trauma treated by heparin and delayed covered stent.
    Author: Lopez S, Tarmiz A, Rousseau H, Fournial G.
    Journal: Ann Vasc Surg; 2011 Oct; 25(7):984.e1-3. PubMed ID: 21911189.
    Abstract:
    Aortic thrombus is a rare and a life-threatening consequence of aortic trauma. We report the case of a young man presenting with this complication after a motor vehicle accident, and in whom a large aortic thrombus was identified at the aortic isthmus by computed tomography of the chest. The lesion was treated initially with heparin, and a delayed covered stent was used for a false aneurysm of the aortic isthmus that was discovered secondarily.
