RESUMEN
La enfermedad aterosclerótica de la aorta constituye una de las causas cardiovasculares de embolia. La prevalencia de ésta patología constituye un indicador de peor pronóstico, en particular, en caso de debrís aórtico. El debrís aórtico está constituido por una placa ateromatosa complicada con un trombo móvil adherido. Presentamos el caso de un paciente de 58 años que presentó episodios reiterados de accidentes cerebrovasculares isquémicos.
ABSTRACT
Atherosclerotic disease of the aorta is one of the cardiovascular causes of embolism. The prevalence of this pathology is an indicator of worse prognosis, particularly in the case of aortic debris. The aortic debris is constituted by an atheromatous plaque complicated by a mobile thrombus attached. We present the case of a 58-year-old patient who presented repeated episodes of ischemic strokes.
