Carotid plaque enhancement and symptom correlations: an evaluation by using multidetector row CT angiography.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The identification of plaque characteristics that determine its vulnerability is extremely important. The purpose of this work was to evaluate CPE after administration of contrast material and to assess whether there is a statistical association between CPE and cerebrovascular symptoms. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-seven consecutive patients (69 men, 28 women; mean age,...
متن کاملCarotid artery wall thickness and leukoaraiosis: preliminary results using multidetector row CT angiography.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE LA is a condition caused by chronic cerebral ischemia and it represents an independent risk for stroke. The purpose of this work was to determine whether CAWT studied by using MDCTA is correlated with LA and its severity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-eight patients ≥60 years of age were retrospectively studied by using multidetector row CT. Supra-aortic vessel analysis ...
متن کاملAssociation between carotid artery plaque ulceration and plaque composition evaluated with multidetector CT angiography.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Symptomatic carotid artery plaque ulceration is associated with distinct plaque components such as a large lipid-rich necrotic core (LR-NC) in ischemic stroke patients with a ≥50% carotid stenosis. We evaluated the associations between carotid artery plaque ulceration and plaque characteristics in ischemic stroke patients with ≥50% stenosis, as well as in those with a low...
متن کاملTakayasu arteritis diagnosed by 16-row multidetector CT angiography.
Takayasu`s arteritis is a well-known systemic disease that involves the aorta, major aortic branches, and pulmonary arteries. Conventional catheter angiography remains the gold standard for disease diagnosis, in correlation with clinical data and laboratory findings. Multislice computed tomography angiography (MSCTA) has the advantage of non-invasively providing the angiographic data and combin...
متن کاملAssessment of carotid plaque stability based on the dynamic enhancement pattern in plaque components with multidetector CT angiography.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recent studies have investigated plaque morphology to determine patients who are at high risk of carotid atherosclerosis. In this study, we investigated whether a difference in dynamic enhancement pattern in plaque components could be useful to assess plaque stability with multidetector CT angiography. METHODS Fifty-nine lesions with moderate to severe carotid atheroscl...
