Introduction
A fluttering cord-like thrombus in the aortic arch is occasionally
observed in clinical practice. The pathophysiology of these lesions is
unclear, however, and optimal management remains debated. Emergent
surgical removal is necessary when the risk for embolism is high. Here,
we report a useful strategy for a fluttering cord-like thrombus in the
aortic arch extending to the left carotid artery.
