Resumo
Resumo: O trombo mural aórtico primário é definido como um trombo aderido à parede aórtica na ausência de doença aterosclerótica e/ou aneurismática ou de fonte cardíaca de êmbolo. Trata-se de uma doença rara, porém causadora de alta morbimortalidade, e não há consenso acerca do seu tratamento. Este estudo objetivou revisar as possibilidades na presença de componente móvel. A terapia endovascular e a cirurgia aberta parecem ser as melhores opções, sendo a abordagem endovascular o tratamento de escolha para pacientes com anatomia favorável e a cirurgia aberta o tratamento de escolha para pacientes com anatomia desfavorável. No entanto, a anticoagulação sistêmica apresenta-se como método não invasivo para pacientes com alto risco cirúrgico e como possibilidade terapêutica na falha ou indisponibilidade de abordagem cirúrgica.
