[Incidental CT discovery of an isolated thrombus in the aortic arch].
The authors report a case of isolated thrombus of the aortic arch discovered incidentally during thoracic CT angiography, complicated by clinical features of embolic renal infarction despite introduction of anticoagulant treatment. This case confirms the value of transoesophageal echocardiography to diagnose and follow these lesions and illustrates the therapeutic approach following discovery of aortic thrombi.
