myocardium of the heart
An aortic thrombus is a blood clot in the aorta. This would be a bad situation because a clot that breaks free in the aorta can cause tissue death in any organ of the body. This can result in anything from a stroke, heart attack, or kidney failure.
The coronary arteries.
aorta and its branch
The aorta. This leaves the heart (left ventricle) loops over (aortic arch) and becomes the descending aorta. Their are other arteries that branch off along the way, carotid, brachial, etc. then the aorta splits into the femoral arteries.
The left and right renal arteries branch off of the abdominal aorta and bring arterial blood to their respective left and right kidneys.

The first branches of the aorta are the coronary arteries, blocking them would cut supply to the heart. **actually: right side of the head and neck and right upper arm
The aorta
A blood clot, also called a thrombus, in the anterior interventricular branch causes sudden death. This branch supplies the majority of blood to the walls of both ventricles. The presence of a thrombus can block the bloodflow to heart muscle cells, causing instant death.
coronary arteries
A saddle embolus, or saddle thrombus, is a blood clot in the distal aorta. It is called a saddle thrombus because it often blocks on or both of the femoral arteries, sitting like a saddle on the split between the two.
That would be the Carotid arteries.
Thrombus in medical terms means blood clot.
The coronary arteries.
A thrombus in a blood vessel restricts or reduces blood flow. If it's occlusive, it cuts blood flow off completely.
aorta and its branch
A thrombus is a blood clot that forms in the circulatory system and remains where it forms rather than circulating in the blood.
