Thrombus formation in a morphologically normal aorta, however, is a rare event. A 50 years old woman was admitted to the mergency department for pain, coldness, and anesthesia in the the left foot. She had a 25 years history of cigarette smoking, a history of postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT), hypercholesterolemia and hyperfibrinogenemia. An extensive serologic survey for hypercoagulability, including antiphospholipid antibodies, and vasculitis disorders was negative. Transesophageal echocardiography revealed a large, pedunculated and hypermobile thrombus attached to the aortic wall 5 cm distal of the left subclavian artery. The patient was admitted to the surgery department, where a 15 cm long fresh, parietal thrombus could be removed from the aorta showing no macroscopic wall lesions or any other morphologic abnormalities.<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>This case report demonstrates the possibility of evolving a large, pedunculated thrombus in a morphologically intact aorta in a postmenopausal woman with thrombogenic conditions such as hyperfibrinogenemia, hypercholesterolemia, smoking and HRT. For these patients, profiling the individual risk and weighing the benefits against the potential risks is warranted before prescribing HRT.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1186\/1477-9560-3-19","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,11,30]],"date-time":"2005-11-30T07:14:09Z","timestamp":1133334849000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Large mobile thrombus in non-atherosclerotic thoracic aorta as the source of peripheral arterial embolism"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Nasser M","family":"Malyar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rolf A","family":"Janosi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zoran","family":"Brkovic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Raimund","family":"Erbel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,11,29]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"38_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"201","DOI":"10.1016\/S0890-5096(07)60001-6","volume":"2","author":"JM Gagliardi","year":"1988","unstructured":"Gagliardi JM, Batt M, Khodja RH, Le bas P: Mural thrombus of the aorta.
