AbstractAortic intraluminal mass lesions of the thoracic aorta are rare disorders with a wide range of differential diagnoses. Generalized hypercoagulation or vascular endothelial disorders have been proposed as the main etiological factor. The risk of catheter-related thrombus development or embolization after interventional procedures is as high as 17%. Malignancies of the aorta are somewhat rare. In some cases, the specific source of the thrombus could not be determined. Mainly, intraluminal tumors of the thoracic aorta become evident through peripheral embolization. Modern diagnostic tools are able to identify the structure and location of intravascular formations. Therapy options are influenced, due to the heterogenic entity, by the individual risk to the patient and the pathology of the thrombus.
