The history of this case was not available. In 1899 Welch2reported 59 cases of embolism and thrombosis of the aorta, of which 14 were said to have been due to thrombosis. In 1921 Hesse3summarized 73 cases of obliteration of the aortic bifurcation, of which thrombosis was responsible for 11. Subsequently, isolated case reports4-15and small series or reviews16-25...Bibliography1. Graham R: Obstructed aorta, Medico-chirurg. Trans. 5: 287, 1814. CrossrefMedlineGoogle Scholar2.
