Natural History and Sequelae of Penetrating Aortic Ulcer
A man in his 70s with history of tobacco use and hypertension presented for transesophageal echocardiography after a recent diagnosis of ischemic stroke. This demonstrated a moderate right-to-left shunt on Valsalva release and no left atrial appendage thrombus. Assessment of the thoracic aorta revealed a complex penetrating aortic ulcer and saccular aneurysm with thrombus in the distal arch and proximal descending thoracic aorta (Figure). Computed tomography angiography confirmed the presence of multiple penetrating ulcerations with large saccular aneurysms.

Stroke: causes and clinical features
Stroke is a clinically defined syndrome of acute, focal neurological deficit attributed to vascular injury (infarction, haemorrhage) of the central nervous system. It is the second leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Stroke is not a single disease but is caused by a wide range of risk factors, disease processes and mechanisms. Hypertension is the most important modifiable risk factor, although its contribution differs for different subtypes. Most (85%) strokes are ischaemic, predominantly caused by small vessel arteriolosclerosis, cardioembolism and large artery athero-thromboembolism.
