Case Report: concurrent myocardial and cerebral infarction due to aortic thrombus.
Alexander J F ThurstonNicholas L MillsRong BingPublished in: European heart journal. Case reports (2023)
This case demonstrates the value of careful clinical assessment in the setting of ST-elevation prior to transferring a patient for invasive angiography, as well as highlighting the role of echocardiography and CT imaging in the diagnosis of acute aortic syndromes. We describe the various management options for aortic mural thrombus, the role of multi-disciplinary decision-making, and our rationale for selecting a strategy of anticoagulation.
