ABSTRACT
Thrombi within the aortic arch are rare, and are generally detected after cerebral, visceral, or peripheral embolization. Although the indications for treatment remain controversial, there is increasing interest in the etiopathogenesis of this rare clinical entity and the development of appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. We report a case in which a thrombus was detected in the proximal aortic arch on echocardiography and computed tomography angiography as the origin of upperextremity ischemia. This pedunculated thrombus was attached to the atherosclerotic aortic wall and was removed surgically.
