A Cone-shape Mass in the Ascending Aorta: Primary Aortic Mural Thrombus

Abstract

Abstract Background Ascending aortic mural thrombus is a rare but potentially life-threatening disease. It can cause a variety of symptoms such as limb ischemia, visceral ischemia and stroke. Case presentation we present a 53-year-old male patient who accidentally be found a hypodense lesion with the wall of the ascending aorta of ascending aortic space-occupying lesion on by computed tomographic (CT) scan. After excluding tumor metastasis and determining anticoagulation therapy invalid, ascending aortic replacement and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)were performed. Conclusions Ascending aortic replacement is an effective treatment for patients with ascending aortic mural thrombosis.
