Popis: Mobile thrombus of the nonaneurysmal, nonatherosclerotic aorta is a rare condition but presents with catastrophic embolic events. We describe two cases that demonstrate differences in presentation and treatment strategies. We review the literature to discuss initial management as well as surgical options. However, due to the limited number of cases, no definitive guidelines for management exist.
