26 sty 2017 · Thoracic aortic mural thrombus (TAMT) of the descending aorta is rare but can result in dramatic embolic events. Early treatment is therefore crucial; however, there is not a consensus on ideal initial treatment.
2 lis 2022 · The use of electrocardiographic-gated images decreases motion artifact and improves edge depiction in aortic root imaging, with diminished measurement variability. 16 If there are aortic wall changes (eg, atherosclerosis, mural thrombus), as is more commonly noted in the arch and distal aorta, or discrete wall thickening (eg, aortitis or IMH ...
Treatment of thrombus (therapeutic anticoagulation, thrombectomy, thrombolysis, open surgical intervention, endovascular bare-metal stent or covered graft implantation, and hybrid approach), in-hospital local (wound complications and need for amputation) or systemic complications (pneumonia, renal tract infection, renal failure, and bowel ischem...
Management ranged from anticoagulation for sessile, small thrombus to endovascular stenting or stent grafting for large or nonvisceral aortic thrombus and open surgical aortic thrombectomy for visceral thoracoabdominal thrombus.
Primary Aortic Mural Thrombus: Presentation and Treatment. Tara L. Hahn, MD, Michael C. Dalsing, MD, Alan P. Sawchuk, MD, Dolores F. Cikrit, MD, and Stephen G. Lalka, MD, Indianapolis, Indiana. The clinical presentation of patients with acute lower-limb ischemia and primary aortic thrombus prompted this review.
Introduction. The majority of peripheral and visceral emboli are due to cardiac diseases such as myocardial infarction, atrial fibrilla-tion, endocarditis, and heart valve prosthetics.
Mural thrombus vs IMH. Mural thrombus in a dilated aorta may appear as a crescentic wall thickening, usually with an irregular luminal surface, but it does not show high attenuation on noncontrast CT images. In addition, IMH displaces intimal calcifications inward, whereas wall calcifications are located along the outer border of the aorta in ...
