ABSTRACT
Although mortality and complication rates of cardiovascular surgery have been reduced, shaggy aorta, which is defined as an extensive severe atherosclerosis of the thoracic and abdominal aorta, is considered a risk factor for perioperative mortality and complications. The shaggy aorta often leads a poor prognosis, and a very high hospital mortality rate when embolization occurs in multiple organs. Therefore, it is important to prevent embolism through detailed evaluation of the disease with preoperative contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan and intraoperative transesophageal echocardiogram, appropriate individualized treatment decisions, and careful surgical manipulation.
