Sigdel A, Dwivedi AJ and Wayn

Abstract

Aortic mural thrombus is an uncommon source of peripheral embolization. We present a case of a patient with a symptomatic mobile mural thrombus in the proximal descending thoracic aorta who presented with left hand ischemia. The patient was treated with anticoagulation and radial artery thrombectomy followed by thoracic aortic stent graft placement.
