title: Successful management of four unusual cases of acute aortic thrombus induced by chemotherapy.
abstract: An acute aortic thrombus is an unusual finding, and this is a source of distal arterial embolism, which has a poor prognosis. Chemotherapeutics have been reported as possible rare causes of acute arterial thrombus. We report four cases of acute aortic thrombus after chemotherapy, which were effectively treated with systemic anticoagulation or endovascular management.
