Aortic atheroma as a source of stroke – assessment of embolization risk using 3D CMR in stroke patients and controls

Abstract Background It was our purpose to identify vulnerable plaques in the thoracic aorta using 3D multi-contrast CMR and estimate the risk of cerebral embolization using 4D flow CMR in cryptogenic stroke patients and controls. Methods One hundred patients (40 with cryptogenic stroke, 60 ophthalmo...
