Association between carotid plaque characteristics and subsequent ischemic cerebrovascular events: a prospective assessment with MRI--initial results.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE MRI is able to quantify carotid plaque size and composition with good accuracy and reproducibility and provides an opportunity to prospectively examine the relationship between plaque features and subsequent cerebrovascular events. We tested the hypothesis that the characteristics of carotid plaque, as assessed by MRI, are possible predictors of future ipsilateral cerebro...
متن کاملIntraplaque Stretch in Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaque – an Effective Biomechanical Predictor for Subsequent Cerebrovascular Ischemic Events
BACKGROUND Stretch is a mechanical parameter, which has been proposed previously to affect the biological activities in different tissues. This study explored its utility in determining plaque vulnerability. METHODS One hundred and six patients with mild to moderate carotid stenosis were recruited in this study (53 symptomatic and 53 asymptomatic). High resolution, multi-sequence magnetic res...
متن کاملCarotid plaque neovascularization and hemorrhage detected by MR imaging are associated with recent cerebrovascular ischemic events.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Pathologic studies suggest that neovascularization and hemorrhage are important features of plaque vulnerability for disruption. Our aim was to determine the associations of these features in carotid plaques with previous cerebrovascular ischemic events by using high-resolution CE-MRI. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-seven patients (36 men; mean age 72.5 ± 10 years) underwe...
متن کاملAssociation between Carotid Plaque Features on CTA and Cerebrovascular Ischemia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
BACKGROUND CTA is a widely available imaging examination that may allow the evaluation of high-risk carotid plaque features. PURPOSE Our aim was to evaluate the association between specific carotid plaque features on CTA and ipsilateral cerebrovascular ischemia. DATA SOURCES We performed a systematic review of Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library from inception to Mar...
متن کاملLack of association between carotid plaque hematoma and ischemic cerebral symptoms.
To investigate the association between carotid plaque hematoma and symptoms of cerebral ischemia a retrospective review of 200 consecutive carotid endarterectomies at the Neurological Institute of New York was carried out. Data analyzed included cerebral ischemic symptoms, angiographic findings, preoperative use of antithrombotic agents, and microscopic pathology of endarterectomy specimens. No...
