Discussion
Leriche o sindrome del carrefour è una arteriopatia ostruttiva cronica periferica, in cui è presente una ostruzione a livello della biforcazione aortica...
l'aorta [...] nasce dal ventricolo sx. Il primo tratto sale verso la base del collo (aorta ascendente), poi si piega verso sinistra e il basso (arco aortico, da cui originano le arterie carotidi e succlavie), ha la porzione discendente nel torace e, superato il diaframma, nell'addome, fino a dividersi nelle due arterie iliache (carrefour aortico), dirette alle gambe.
