[Extract] he presence of atheroma in the aorta represents an aspect of the spectrum of systemic atherosclerosis. Advancing age, presence of diabetes, hypertension and the presence of multiple cardiovascular risk factors are associated with atheromatous disease. As expected, the presence of aortic atherosclerosis is not uncommon in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
