Abstract
Endovascular procedures carry an intrinsic risk of distal embolization. A large embolus may occlude major vessels with serious consequences. Endovascular procedures in the thoracic aorta may expose the entire visceral and lower limb circulation to this risk. We describe a method of using an endovascular filter to trap large emboli during thoracic aortic stenting using the Wallstent and describe its use in a case of primary aortic mural thrombus.
