A review of the literature shows that there are few reported cases of embolism or thrombus in a nonaneurysmal, effectively normal aorta with no other underlying reason for thrombus formation in the aorta. We report a case of a large, floating thrombus in the descending aorta lumen and discuss surgical and management options.
