Accepted for publication April 3, 1996.

A 42-year-old patient had resection of two thrombi floating in the aorta under circulatory arrest. Atherosclerotic plaques in the isthmus and in the descending thoracic aorta predisposed the patient to thrombus formation. Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography was used to guide the surgical approach.
