Silent cerebral infarction after thoracic endovascular aortic repair: a magnetic resonance imaging study

Abstract

The incidence of silent cerebral infarction following TEVAR with supra-aortic debranching for aortic arch pathologies was 21%, and the severity of atheromatous change in the aortic arch, especially in the proximal landing zone, was positively associated with the development of silent cerebral infarction.
