Primary aortic thrombosis: role of enhanced multislice CT demonstrated in three exceptional cases.

Primary aortic thrombosis: role of enhanced multislice CT demonstrated in three exceptional cases.

Primary aortic thrombosis remains a rare entity that can be defined as clotting of the vessel without any obvious atheromatous lesion. Cancer chemotherapy, cocaine intake, essential thrombocythemia, some hypercoagulable states, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, inflammatory disease of the digestive...
