Localized aortic arch thrombi are rare and often linked to specific causes. Surgical excision is a common treatment for these rare aortic thrombi, with technical details for safe procedures discussed.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Vascular Medicine
  • Aortic Diseases

Background:

  • Localized thrombus in the ascending aorta and arch is uncommon without a clear underlying cause.
  • Potential etiologies include trauma, atherosclerosis, hypercoagulable states, and instrumentation.
  • A literature review identified 38 cases between 1966-2003.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the clinical entity of localized aortic arch thrombi.
  • To outline the diagnosis and management strategies for this condition.
  • To discuss technical aspects for safe surgical intervention.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of reported cases of localized aortic arch thrombi (1966-2003).
  • Analysis of treatment approaches, focusing on surgical excision.

  • Discussion of procedural techniques for safe management.

    • Main Results:

    • Thirty-eight cases of localized aortic arch thrombi were reported in the literature.
    • Twenty-one of these cases were treated with surgical excision.
    • Various surgical approaches were employed for thrombus removal.

    Conclusions:

    • Localized aortic arch thrombi represent a rare clinical presentation.
    • Surgical excision is a primary treatment modality for these thrombi.
    • Careful attention to technical details is crucial for safe and effective surgical management.
