Abstract
A floating thrombus formation in the ascending aorta is a rare finding,
which poses great challenges for treating physicians. Treatment
strategies for this pathology are poorly defined and mainly depending on
the clinical experience of the team. Using a case study, we discuss the
underlying pathology, treatment options and patient management.
