Primary Aortic Thrombosis

H. GAYLIS CH.M., F.R.C.S.¹

¹ From the Department of Surgery, Hammersmith Hospital and Postgraduate Medical School, London.

Primary arterial thrombosis is a rare lesion and may be defined as thrombosis of a vessel without any obvious underlying cause. The condition has been described in the peripheral arteries of the upper and lower extremities but there are few authenticated reports of the condition affecting the aorta. A case of primary aortic thrombosis occurring in a man aged 32 is reported.
