Abstract WP166: The Correlation of Proximal Complex Aortic Plaque and Possible Symptomatic Cervicocephalic Atherosclerotic Stenosis

Background and Purpose: Complex aortic plaque (CAP) in the proximal thoracic aorta can be an embolic source for acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease (AICVD), while culprit cervicocephalic atherosclerotic stenosis may coexist. However, the associations between proximal CAP and possible symptomatic cervicocephalic atherosclerotic stenosis (PS-CAS) remain unclear. We aimed at testing whether CAP tended to distribute in the proximal thoracic aorta...
