Intraplaque hemorrhage, fibrous cap status, and microembolic signals in symptomatic patients with mild to moderate carotid artery stenosis: the Plaque at RISK study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In patients with mild to moderate symptomatic carotid artery stenosis, intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) and a thin/ruptured fibrous cap (FC) as evaluated with MRI, and the presence of microembolic signals (MESs) as detected with transcranial Doppler, are associated with an increased risk of a (recurrent) stroke. The objective of the present study is to determine whether the p...
متن کاملIntraplaque Hemorrhage and the Plaque Surface in Carotid Atherosclerosis: The Plaque At RISK Study (PARISK).
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE An important characteristic of vulnerable plaque, intraplaque hemorrhage, may predict plaque rupture. Plaque rupture can be visible on noninvasive imaging as a disruption of the plaque surface. We investigated the association between intraplaque hemorrhage and disruption of the plaque surface. MATERIALS AND METHODS We selected the first 100 patients of the Plaque At RIS...

متن کاملMicroembolic signals and carotid plaque characteristics in patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between carotid plaque characteristics and the occurrence of cerebral microemboli signals (MES) and subsequent ischemic events in patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis (ACS). DESIGN Sixty-two asymptomatic patients with 50-99% carotid stenosis underwent transcranial Doppler (TCD) monitoring to determine the relationship between MES and plaque char...
متن کاملSymptomatic patients with mild and moderate carotid stenosis: plaque features at MRI and association with cardiovascular risk factors and statin use.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The objectives of this study were to assess plaque characteristics in symptomatic patients with mild and moderate carotid stenosis and to explore associations with cardiovascular risk factors and statin use. METHODS One hundred patients with transient ischemic attack or stroke with ipsilateral mild and moderate carotid stenosis underwent MR plaque imaging. RESULTS Pat...
