Disease relevance of Embolism, Cholesterol

• Do corticosteroids improve survival in acute renal failure due to cholesterol atheroembolism [1]?
• Cholesterol crystal embolism, sometimes separately designated atheroembolism, is an increasing and still underdiagnosed cause of renal dysfunction antemortem in elderly patients [2].

High impact information on Embolism, Cholesterol

• Case 24-1998: cholesterol atheroembolism [3].
• CONCLUSIONS: Cerebral protection and prevention of atheroembolism remain challenges in aortic arch reconstruction [4].
• The Keesler Air Force Base experience with atheroembolism over the past four years was reviewed [5].
• Platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibition and atheroembolism during bypass graft angioplasty: a cup half full [6].

Anatomical context of Embolism, Cholesterol

• The diagnosis of disseminated atheroembolism from extensive degeneration of the thoracic and abdominal aorta was based on clinical evidence of cutaneous atheroembolism, angiographic demonstration of irregular aortic plaques, and findings of cholesterol emboli in tissue specimens [7].
