Abstract

Multiple case reports have been published on using the AngioVac system for right-sided clots or vegetations and few others report AngioVac in the aorta. Our case is the first to utilize transcaval access for a successful aspiration of the mobile part of a large aortic arch thrombus. Future studies are needed to further define this approach.
