Abstract
: Aortic floating thrombus (AFT) is a rare disease, which is often misdiagnosed as a tumor or another disease. Here, we report five cases of AFT, confirmed by computed tomography angiography (CTA). The patients’ laboratory biomarkers, clinical treatment, dynamic changes, and CTA features, including the AFT location, morphology, size, and aortic segment involvement, were retrospectively analyzed. CTA was the main imaging modality for detecting AFT, as it could depict lesions and determine the therapeutic effects accurately. Overall, the therapeutic strategy should be selected individually, depending on the patient’s physical health; conservative medication use is also recommended.
期刊介绍：
The Iranian Journal of Radiology is the official journal of Tehran University of Medical Sciences and the Iranian Society of Radiology. It is a scientific forum dedicated primarily to the topics relevant to radiology and allied sciences of the developing countries, which have been neglected or have received little attention in the Western medical literature.
This journal particularly welcomes manuscripts which deal with radiology and imaging from geographic regions wherein problems regarding economic, social, ethnic and cultural parameters affecting prevalence and course of the illness are taken into consideration.
The Iranian Journal of Radiology has been launched in order to interchange information in the field of radiology and other related scientific spheres. In accordance with the objective of developing the scientific ability of the radiological population and other related scientific fields, this journal publishes research articles, evidence-based review articles, and case reports focused on regional tropics.
Iranian Journal of Radiology operates in agreement with the below principles in compliance with continuous quality improvement:
1-Increasing the satisfaction of the readers, authors, staff, and co-workers.
2-Improving the scientific content and appearance of the journal.
3-Advancing the scientific validity of the journal both nationally and internationally.
Such basics are accomplished only by aggregative effort and reciprocity of the radiological population and related sciences, authorities, and staff of the journal.
