Embolic Stroke Caused by Aortic Ruptured Plaque and Thrombus Visualized by Angioscopy

Embolic Stroke Caused by Aortic Ruptured Plaque and Thrombus Visualized by Angioscopy

Aortogenic embolization is among the major mechanisms of cryptogenic stroke. Angioscopic surveillance of the aortic wall clearly visualized the existence of thrombi and spontaneously ruptured plaques, which dynamically liberated embolic materials. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.)
