Article Synopsis
- A man was found to have a pseudoaneurysm in the ascending aorta where he had a metallic prosthetic valve implanted 12 years ago.
- Transthoracic echocardiography and CT imaging confirmed the presence of the pseudoaneurysm.
- The patient successfully underwent surgical repair and had a good outcome.
Background: There are limited data supporting an association between retinal microvascular changes and cardiovascular mortality, but there is no convincing evidence of an independent or direct association with atherosclerosis in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. The present study examines the relationship between retinal microvascular changes and angiographic findings.
Methods: Patients who were candidates for angiography were, at first, referred to the ophthalmology department for the determination of the severity of retinal atherosclerosis based on the Scheie classification.
