Aortic arch atherosclerotic plaque is a probable source of atheroembolic stroke. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has been used to image the aorta of patients with stroke to identify atherosclerotic plaque. TEE is moderately invasive and does not always visualize plaques present in the distal ascending aorta and proximal aortic arch.
