Penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2020
Purpose of reviewPenetrating aortic ulcer (PAU) is defined as ulceration of an aortic atherosclerotic plaque penetrating through the internal elastic lamina into the media. With the advances in imaging techniques, the differential diagnosis between PAU and other aortic ulcers remains a challenge.

Penetrating Atherosclerotic Ulcer

Surgery Today, 2001
The pathogenesis of penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer (PAU) in aortic disease remains controversial. Between January 1995 and April 1999, five patients underwent treatment for a PAU in our hospital. All were men, ranging in age from 46 to 74 years, with a mean age of 66.2 years. The PAU was located on the thoracic descending aorta in three patients and

Penetrating atherosclerotic aortic ulcers

American Heart Journal, 1994
Penetrating atherosclerotic aortic ulceration is a unique disease with distinct management and prognostic implications. It is an important clinical entity that must be distinguished from classic aortic dissection and rapid expansion or contained rupture of a thoracic aortic aneurysm.

Penetrating Atherosclerotic Ulcer: Presentation and Management

2021
Penetrating aortic ulcer (PAU) is a pathologic diagnosis consistent with localized excavation of the intima and media, likely due to an atherosclerotic plaque which causes erosion and inflammatory changes in the aortic wall. The clinical presentation of PAU ranges from most patients presenting without symptoms to others with frank rupture and ...

Penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer aneurysm of the innominate artery

Vasa, 2009
Penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer of the aorta is uncommon, and usually develops in the descending thoracic aorta. Rarely this condition involves the branch vessels of the aorta. We report a case of ruptured aneurysm of the innominate artery resulting from penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer.

Acute penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer of the ascending aorta

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 2019
A 67-year-old man presented with chest pain. Clinical examination revealed hypertension (160/90 mm Hg). Electrocardiogram indicated no acute coronary syndrome and cardiac enzymes were normal. Catheterization was performed owing to the patient's continuing chest pain and ascending aortogram revealed irregular aortic wall.

Penetrating aortic atherosclerotic ulcer complicated by periesophageal hematoma

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2003
Penetrating aortic atherosclerotic ulcers have been recently recognized as an entity among the acute aortic syndromes with a potentially fatal outcome. We describe the case of a patient presenting with severe chest pain who died as a result of a thoracic-aorta penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer complicated by a intramural hematoma of the esophagus and ...

Radiologic evaluation of penetrating aortic atherosclerotic ulcer.

RadioGraphics, 1990
Patients with penetrating atherosclerotic ulcers of the aorta present with back or chest pain that mimics classic aortic dissection. The pathologic findings, however, are distinctly different from those of aortic dissection in that an atherosclerotic lesion with ulceration penetrates into the internal elastic lamina, allowing hematoma formation within ...
