Endovascular Therapy for Symptomatic Mobile Thrombus of Infrarenal Abdominal Aorta

Mobile thrombus is a rare cause of distal arterial embolization. We report 2 cases of mobile thrombus of the abdominal aorta leading to distal embolization. Both patients were successfully treated with endovascular exclusion of the thrombus and distal embolectomy. Endovascular exclusion of a mobile thrombus of the abdominal aorta is a significantly less invasive alternative to open abdominal aorta thrombectomy.
