Massive Clot Aorta, With Emboli To Mesenteric And Femoral Vesssel

Abstract

Summary : Arterial thrombo-embolic episodes are not clinical rarity. Most commonly, these are emboli from heart and occur in association with mitral valve disease, acute myocardial infarction, dilated cardiomyopathy, severe congestive heart failure or infective endocarditis. Primary, in—situ arterial thrombosis, is however relatively rare and has been reported in arteritidies, vascular procedures like IABP and renal Angioplasty, hemodialysis, malignancies, arterial injuries, hypercoagulable states, after cardiac surtery, certain hematological conditions (PNH, Protein C &S Deficiency states), and after umbilical artery cannulation in neonates.We are describing an unusual presentation of a case of aortic thrombus of unkhown etiology.
