These filiform strands can be noted in association with embolic stroke. Also heart failure (HF) and stroke frequently coexist because of an overlap of shared risk factors and subsequent mechanisms and a higher risk of stroke is present also in HF patients in sinus rythm (SR). The clinical ...
The risk of this operation is considered low, but a stroke may occur during the embolization of the coil, the patient's legs or arms may be weak, and language and vision problems may also occur. 3. The embolic coil for treatment of cerebral aneurysms Neurosurgeons can use brain imaging ...

Thrombotic plaques in the aortic arch increase the risk of embolic stroke since catheter and stent-graft maneuvers in the arch may loosen the plaque [18]. Assessing the plaque burden of the thoracic aorta with focus on mobile atheromas is important to estimate the risk of embolic stroke which...
