A Case of Upper Limb Arterial Embolization from Aortic Arch Intimal Sarcoma

We report a case with aortic intimal sarcoma who presented with left upper limb arterial embolization from tumor. A 79-year-old female patient presented with paleness and left upper limb paralysis. A transesophageal echocardiogram revealed a mobile and fragile mass attached in the aortic arch. Contr...

description We report a case with aortic intimal sarcoma who presented with left upper limb arterial embolization from tumor. A 79-year-old female patient presented with paleness and left upper limb paralysis. A transesophageal echocardiogram revealed a mobile and fragile mass attached in the aortic arch. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed a massive irregular tumor in the aortic arch with left common carotid and subclavian artery occlusion. Total arch replacement was performed, and tumor was resected en bloc. Although the postoperative course was uneventful, multiple metastasis to the limbs was observed. The patient died 6 months postoperatively.
