In vivo exclusion of giant aortic thrombus

We present the case of a 53‐year‐old patient with a giant floating thrombus in the aortic arch associated with proximal stenosis of the left subclavian artery diagnosed by multimodal imaging. Left carotid‐subclavian shunt and thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) were successful. Transesophage...

Description
Summary:We present the case of a 53‐year‐old patient with a giant floating thrombus in the aortic arch associated with proximal stenosis of the left subclavian artery diagnosed by multimodal imaging. Left carotid‐subclavian shunt and thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) were successful. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) played a substantial role in the safety and efficacy of the endovascular procedure and should be considered as an additional guide to fluoroscopy for this type of procedure.
