Presentation, Diagnosis and Management of Innominate Artery Thromboembolism.

There are currently no standard guidelines on the management of acute IA thromboembolism, with mostly individual cases reported in the literature describing this rare entity.

Our case demonstrates that aspiration CDT may be an effective treatment modality for patients with acute IA thrombus.
