Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Splenic infarction can present with left upper quadrant pain.
  • Thoracoabdominal aortic thrombus is a rare but serious condition.
  • Celiac axis involvement complicates aortic thrombus management.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with left upper quadrant pain.
  • Imaging revealed a thoracoabdominal aortic thrombus extending into the celiac axis.
  • The thrombus was identified as the cause of splenic infarction.

Findings:

  • Successful aortic thrombectomy was performed.
  • Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) guided the procedure.
  • TEE provided real-time visualization of the thrombus and aorta.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the utility of TEE in complex aortic interventions.
  • Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for managing aortic thrombus complications.
  • This approach offers a potential treatment strategy for similar cases.
