Abstract
We report on a patient with left upper quadrant pain as a result of splenic infarction; the patient was subsequently found to have a thoracoabdominal aortic thrombus extending through the celiac axis. The patient was successfully treated with an aortic thrombectomy guided by intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography.
