Thrombus is the term used to denote the blood clot formed inside the heart or inside blood vessels. These thrombi can detach and lodge in any artery, causing arterial thromboembolism, which is a frequent complication in feline patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Clinical signs vary depending on the stage of disease progression and thrombus location. For the treatment, it is necessary to use potent analgesics and antithrombotic drugs / anticoagulants, in order to prevent relapses. This paper aims to describe a case of aortic thromboembolism (TEA) in a feline with associated hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).
