title: Endovascular treatment for mobile thrombus of the thoracic aorta.
abstract: Detection levels of mobile thrombus of the thoracic aorta have greatly increased after any embolic event. Although the indication for treatment remains controversial, there is a growing interest about the etiopathogenesis of this rare entity and to define proper diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. We present a case of mobile thrombus of the thoracic aorta causing recurrent peripheral emboli managed with endovascular stent graft.
