Aortic Thrombus and Embolism

Aortic Thrombus and Embolism is a research topic within Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine. Science Explorer counts 6.7k research works in it since 1950. 10.5% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers focuses on the association between aortic atherosclerosis and various embolic events, including stroke, renal disease, and peripheral arterial embolism. It explores the diagnosis, treatment, and management of cholesterol embolization syndrome, atheroembolic renal disease, and mobile thrombi in the thoracic aorta. The role of anticoagulation therapy and transesophageal echocardiography in assessing aortic plaque morphology and predicting embolic risk is also discussed.
