Aortic arch atherosclerosis is associated with an increased risk of stroke or TIA. Up to now, transesophageal echocardiography has been the standard method for diagnosing protruding and/or mobile aortic arch atherosclerosis. We report a case where a mobile aortic arch atheroma was diagnosed using transthoracic echo in a patient with a recent stroke.
主动脉弓动脉粥样硬化与中风或短暂性脑缺血发作(TIA)风险增加相关。迄今为止,经食管超声心动图一直是诊断突出和/或活动的主动脉弓动脉粥样硬化的标准方法。我们报告了一例近期中风患者通过经胸超声心动图诊断出活动的主动脉弓粥样瘤的病例。
