Spontaneous calcific embolization occurred in minor coronary arteries in 11% and major coronary arteries in 6% of necropsy patients with calcific aortic stenosis, rarely leading to extensive infarction.

Embolization is often silent in calcific aortic stenosis; leaves open its contribution to events and need for prospective study.
Observational (n=165)
Spontaneous calcific embolization is a relatively common but often clinically silent phenomenon in patients with calcific aortic stenosis.
Holley et al. (1963) conducted an observational in Calcific aortic stenosis (n=165). Calcific aortic stenosis was evaluated on Spontaneous calcific embolization in minor and major coronary arteries. Spontaneous calcific embolization occurred in minor coronary arteries in 11% and major coronary arteries in 6% of necropsy patients with calcific aortic stenosis, rarely leading to extensive infarction.
