Arterial thromboembolism is a common cause of both visceral and brain infarctions. Because the cause of brain infarction is unknown in up to 39% of patients, the discovery of subdiaphragmatic visceral infarction (SDVI) in this context is important, but its frequency is unknown. We therefore investigated the prevalence of SDVI in subjects who died from stroke. We also evaluated the yield of SDVI diagnosis for stroke subtyping.
