Conclusioni

L’ateromasia emboligena dell’aorta toracica è una evenienza non frequente, ma con conseguenze spesso disastroseLa diagnostica deve far uso di metodiche ultrasonografiche (TEE) in associazione ad angio-TC o angio-RMIl trattamento è controverso, comprendendo l’anticoagulazione, la terapia trombolitica o trattamenti più invasivi, chirurgico od endovascolare

Conclusioni

L’impiego sempre più diffuso di metodiche endovascolari ha contribuito all’aumento di incidenza di complicanze emboliche in presenza di aorta toracica ateromasicaIn questo caso il riconoscimento di tale complicanza è più difficile ed il trattamento più complessoLa prevenzione rimane il punto cruciale da sviluppare ulteriormente
