Abstract

Background: Ascending aortic thrombosis is extremely rare and its pathogenesis is unclear. Clinical manifestations are often related to the site of embolism caused by thrombus dislodgement. Currently, surgery is considered the first choice to prevent embolism and recurrence, while medical therapy is an option for patients who refuse surgery or for whom surgery is contraindicated.
