Although this is common in man, it is uncommon in domestic animals; in man it is associated with atherosclerotic vascular disease. When they do occur in animals, arterial thrombi are usually small lesions but these may be sited strategically, thereby causing problems.

====Verminous arteritis====

May occur with or without aneurysm and is seen in horses as a result of ''Strongylus vulgaris'' infestation. Affects the root of cranial mesenteric artery, renal artery and aorta as a consequence of larval migration in the vessel walls.

Seen in cats in the UK, and often referred to as a "saddle embolus", this condition is associated with cardio-myopathy and atrial thrombosis.

In farm animals, and rarely in the horse, infective/ inflammatory thrombosis occurs subsequent to endocarditis.
