A rare case of marijuana associated with ascending aorta thrombosis complicated with stroke and bilateral renal infarcts

Ascending aortic is an uncommon site for arterial thrombosis and ascending aortic thrombosis is a very rare phenomenon with a high fatality rate. Marijuana is the most commonly used psychoactive drug in the United States and a few cases have been reported on the association of marijuana with vascula...
