Two patients with widespread atherosclerosis affecting the aorta and major arteries underwent successful surgical treatment. This case report highlights surgical options for extensive arterial disease.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Vascular Medicine
  • Atherosclerosis Research

Background:

  • Atherosclerosis is a prevalent condition affecting large arteries.
  • Extensive disease poses surgical challenges.
  • Surgical intervention is a key treatment modality for severe atherosclerosis.

Observation:

  • Two cases presented with atherosclerosis of the ascending aorta, aortic arch, innominate artery, and bilateral carotid arteries.
  • These patients required surgical management for their advanced arterial disease.

Findings:

  • Surgical treatment was successfully performed for extensive atherosclerosis in the aorta and major brachiocephalic arteries.
  • The procedures were conducted at St. Vincent and Veterans Administration Medical Centers in Portland, Oregon.

Implications:

  • Successful surgical management of extensive atherosclerosis is feasible.
  • These cases may inform treatment strategies for similar complex vascular conditions.
  • Further research into surgical outcomes for widespread atherosclerosis is warranted.
