Abstract：Objective To investigate the value of CT angiography ( CTA) in the evaluation of abdominal aortic atherosclerotic plaques. Methods 50patientswithabdominalaorticatherosclerosiswereselectedfromMay,2014toMay,2015.TheyweregivenCTabdominal aortic imaging, and abdominal aortic CT angiography ( CTA) was observed in the abdominal aorta and its 1 branch of the celiac trunk, su-perior mesenteric artery, superior mesenteric artery, left renal artery and right renal artery plaques.Analysis of the type of abdominal aorta and its 1-grade branches was done.Results CT angiography showed that 50 patients had abdominal aortic atherosclerotic plaques, with total display of 188 patches.Among them, there were cases of superior mesenteric artery (37) and patch number (52).CT angiography (CTA) showed soft plaque (59 cases, 17.1%), calcified plaque (160 cases, 46.2%) and mixed plaque (127 cases, 36.7%).The proportion of calcified plaque was the highest, and the proportion of soft plaque was the lowest.Conclusion CT angiography ( CTA) could clearly show the presence of abdominal aorta and its branch arteries, and could be analyzed by the patch type.
