Abstract

Background: A floating thrombus in the ascending aorta is a rare finding that may cause multiple ischemic strokes with catastrophic consequences. The treatment algorithm for such lesions is yet to be defined.

Case report: We report the case of a 50-year-old patient with multiple cerebral ischemic strokes due to a sizeable floating thrombus (25 x 15 x 13 mm) in the ascending aorta. Conservative management utilizing anticoagulants was chosen due to the patient's high estimated perioperative risk.

Conclusion: An anticoagulation treatment strategy may be feasible, safe, and effective in patients with large mobile thrombus in the aorta who are not eligible for thrombectomy. HIPPOKRATIA 2021, 25 (3):172-174.

一名升主动脉中有大的漂浮血栓的患者的栓塞性中风。

背景：升主动脉中的漂浮血栓是一种罕见的发现，可能会导致多发性缺血性中风，并带来灾难性后果。这种病变的治疗算法尚待确定。病例报告：我们报告了一例50岁的患者，由于升主动脉中有相当大的漂浮血栓（25 x 15 x 13 mm），导致多发性脑缺血性中风。由于患者的围手术期风险估计较高，因此选择了使用抗凝剂的保守治疗。结论：对于不适合行血栓切除术的主动脉大面积可移动血栓患者，抗凝治疗策略可能是可行、安全、有效的。希波克拉蒂亚2021，25（3）：172-174。
