Background: Atheromatous plaques dropping off from the arterial wall of aortic arch or ****supra-aortic arteries (innominate artery,
bilateral subclavian arteries and common carotid arteries)***** may cause embolic stroke and may account for part of the cryptogenic
stroke. But the incidence of these plaques in the stroke patients

especially the cryptogenic stroke patients is unknown. The objective
of this study was to investigate whether atheromatous plaques in the aortic arch or supra-aortic arteries are a risk factor of
cryptogenic stroke.


Well, at least we now know what arteries are involved:)
