Figure 3 The three dimensional printed model of the aorta and floating thrombus. A: The thrombus and adjacent aortic wall were linked along the long axis; B: A longitudinal flap (arrow a) linked the floating thrombus and the adjacent aortic wall; and C: The three dimensional-printed model revealed a defect in the adjacent aortic wall (arrow b).
