CT angiography for lower extremity atherosclerosis and thrombosis. A 62-year-old man with aPLs showed an ADS of 6 points in the total arteries of the abdomen and lower extremities. A Calcified atherosclerotic plaques were observed in the infrarenal abdominal aorta (arrows, point = 1) on the pre-contrast CT image. A partial thrombus was observed in the infrarenal abdominal aorta on the post-contrast CT image (arrowhead). B, C Mixed atherosclerotic plaques were observed in the bilateral common iliac arteries (arrows in B, point = 2) and bilateral internal iliac arteries (arrows in C, point = 2). D A calcified atherosclerotic plaque was observed in the left proximal femoral artery (arrow, point = 1). Abbreviations: ADS atherosclerosis distribution score, aPLs antiphospholipid antibodies, CT computed tomography
