Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Floating aortic thrombi (FLOAT) are rare, with very few cases attributed to cocaine use. We report a new case of FLOAT involving the left common carotid artery due to cocaine use, for the first time, complicated with acute ischemic stroke.
METHODS: We present in detail our case report, and then, a literature search in PubMed and Scopus was performed up to March 20, 2022, to review the reported cases of aortic thrombus associated with cocaine use.
RESULTS: A 39-year-old man with a history of smoking and daily cocaine use was admitted to our stroke unit for acute left-hemispheric symptoms due to carotid-Sylvian occlusion. CT angiography of the supra-aortic trunks showed FLOAT involving the left common carotid artery. The thrombus was removed successfully by endovascular thrombectomy with recanalization of carotid-Sylvian occlusion. Our literature search yielded seven reported cases of aortic thrombus due to cocaine use revealed by lower limb ischemia (3 patients), renal infarction (1 patient), abdominal pain (1 patient), bowel ischemia (1 patient), and lower limb ischemia with renal infarction (1 patient).
CONCLUSION: Aortic thrombus should be suspected in patients without overt cardiovascular risk factors but with a recent history of cocaine use who presents with acute ischemic stroke.
