Abstract

Ascending aorta thrombosis (AAT) in a neonate is a rare and lethal event. To date, AAT has been reported in around 25 patients, out of whom only eight patients had concomitant arch involvement. We report a case of one such patient with ascending aorta and arch thrombosis and present a brief review of the available literature.

Keywords: Ascending aorta thrombosis; neonatal aortic thrombosis; surgical thrombectomy.
