目的：慢性肾脏疾病（CKD）患者发生加速动脉粥样硬化的频率较高。我们使用经食管超声心动图（TEE）评估CKD与胸主动脉斑块之间的关系。方法：本研究人群包括297例接受TEE治疗的患者。采用TEE对近段胸主动脉（PTA）（从升主动脉到主动脉弓）和远段胸主动脉（DTA）（降主动脉）的主动脉斑块进行评估。主动脉斑块定义为厚度为>= 4mm，伴有溃疡或可移动成分的复杂斑块。CKD被定义为肾小球滤过率（eGFR）
Objective: Accelerated atherosclerosis occurs with a high frequency in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We evaluated the association between CKD and thoracic aortic plaques using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Methods: This study population consisted of 297 patients who underwent TEE. Aortic plaques were evaluated in the proximal thoracic aorta (PTA) (from the ascending aorta to the aortic arch) and the distal thoracic aorta (DTA) (the descending aorta) using TEE. Aortic plaques were defined as complex plaques of >= 4 mm thickness and with ulceration or mobile components. CKD was defined as the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)
