Abstract
There is a paucity of cases where an ascending thoracic aorta thrombus leads to systemic embolization. There are a few cases that have been reported in the literature of an ascending aortic thrombus leading to cerebral infarction [1], acute limb ischemia [2], and splenic infarction [3]. We present, however, a case of an aortic atheroma leading to celiac and superior mesenteric artery thromboses, as well as infarction of the spleen,gallbladder, kidneys, and pancreas.
