We conducted a study to quantify the risk of ischemic stroke associated with atherosclerotic disease of the aortic arch. Methods: Using transesophageal echocardiography, we performed a prospective case-control study of the frequency and thickness of atherosclerotic plaques in the ascending aorta and ...
Twenty-two patients had infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms and 21 had aortoiliac occlusive disease. In addition, 40 patients had severe lesions of one or both renal arteries and three patients had a lesion in an accessory renal artery. Hypertension was present in 29 patients, 15 of whom had...
Atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by lipid accumulation and immune cell infiltration in the arterial wall, is the main underlying pathology of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although CVD is the leading cause of death in both women and men, accounting for 45% and 39% of ...
(Pathology) a degenerative disease of the arteries characterized by patchy thickening of the inner lining of the arterial walls, caused by deposits of fatty material; a form of arteriosclerosis. Seeatheroma [C20: from New Latin, from Greekathēragruel (see atheroma) + sclerosis] ...
We present the case of a patient with atheromatous plaque rupture in the distal abdominal aorta associated with acute aortoiliac occlusion as the result of a fall. Atherosclerotic disease may be present in young asymptomatic individuals and may be a predisposing factor for aortic intimal tearing. A...
Atheromatous disease of the thoracic aorta: pathologic and clinical implications. The management of patients who have atherosclerotic lesions in the thoracic aorta has not been determined prospectively. However, anticoagulation may help ... I Kronzon,PA Tunick - 《Annals of Internal Medicine》 被引量...
Embolization of atheroma from the ascending aorta is a principal cause of stroke after cardiac operations. We have previously shown that intraoperative ultrasonographic scanning of the aorta rapidly, safely, and accurately identifies atheromatous disease in the ascending aorta. Intraoperative ultrasonography ...

All patients with perioperative stroke presented with atherosclerotic disease of the ascending aorta. The stroke rate was significantly associated with the presence and extent of atherosclerotic disease. Patients burdened with mixed plaques presented with significantly higher perioperative stroke rates. This ...
