Aortectomy and graft replacement treats recurrent cerebral emboli from an ulcerated ascending aorta.
Aortectomy and graft replacement can be utilized to treat recurrent cerebral emboli originating from an ulcerated, thrombogenic ascending aorta.
Multiple studies link aortic arch atheroma as a donor site for cerebral emboli. However, treatment of this condition remains controversial. We report a patient with recurrent brain emboli from an ulcerated, thrombogenic aorta treated with aortectomy and graft replacement.
