Abstract

A 27-year-old man applied for routine control due to aortic coarctation stent. During routine control, a late in-stent thrombus was detected. The patient was asymptomatic. Thrombus resolution was achieved with anticoagulant therapy. Anticoagulant therapy is one of the options in the treatment of aortic stent graft-associated asymptomatic thrombus. Surgical intervention might be required in case of thromboembolism, haemodynamic deterioration, and intra-aortic gradient with high blood pressure in the upper extremity.
