Histological composition and progression of carotid plaque
BACKGROUND To analyse histological composition and progression of carotid plaque. METHODS Thirty-one patients (22 males, mean age 68.03 +/- 7.3 years) admitted for carotid endarterectomy for extracranial high-grade internal carotid artery stenosis (>or= 70% luminal narrowing) were enrolled. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to symptomatology (group I, 17 symptomatic patients; ...
متن کاملCorrelation Between Ultrasound B-mode Images of Carotid Plaque and Histological Examination
This paper reports on a study on 69 patients where image features extracted from B-mode ultrasound images of atherosclerotic plaque in the carotid arteries were compared to histological results obtained from the same plaque after carotid endarterectomy. The study also investigated the correlation between image features and visual classification of the plaque appearance as revealed by ultrasound...
متن کاملUltrasound Biomicroscopy for Longitudinal Studies of Carotid Plaque Development in Mice: Validation with Histological Endpoints
Atherosclerosis is responsible for the death of thousands of Americans each year. The carotid constriction model of plaque development has recently been presented as a model for unstable plaque formation in mice. In this study we 1) validate ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) for the determination of carotid plaque size, percent stenosis, and plaque development in live animals, 2) determine the sen...
متن کاملHigh Reproducibility of Histological Characterization by Whole Virtual Slide Quantification; An Example Using Carotid Plaque Specimens
OBJECTIVE Tissue biobanks are an important source for discovery and validation studies aiming for new proteins that are causally related with disease development. There is an increasing demand for accurate and reproducible histological characterization, especially for subsequent analysis and interpretation of data in association studies. We assessed reproducibility of one semiquantative and two...
متن کاملClinical and histological significance of gadolinium enhancement in carotid atherosclerotic plaque.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although the ability of MRI to investigate carotid plaque composition is well established, the mechanism and the significance of plaque gadolinium (Gd) enhancement remain unknown. We evaluated clinical and histological significance of Gd enhancement of carotid plaque in patients undergoing endarterectomy for carotid stenosis. METHODS Sixty-nine patients scheduled for a ...
