5 Fig 4 (A) Patient 5, surgical view of the pedunculated thrombus anchored in the ductus fossette. The white arrows indicate the aortic walls, and the blue arrow indicates the intraaortic thrombus. (B) Left thoracotomy approach with upper and lower aortotomies for thrombi (2) removal using left atriofemoral partial bypass. (C) Surgical specimen from the same patient demonstrating partially organized thrombus with a fresh component (the scale of aortic diameter is augmented ×3).
