Ultrasonographic assessment of the morphological characteristics of the carotid plaque.
Apart from the degree of stenosis, plaque morphology has emerged in recent years as an important contributory factor in stroke risk. Ultrasound studies have shown that hypo- or anechogenic plaques carry a higher risk of cerebrovascular events than echogenic ones. Similarly, heterogeneous plaques presenting a complex pattern of echogenicity in ultrasound have also been more frequently associated...
متن کاملUlcerated atheromatous plaques of the carotid artery bifurcation.
Ulcerated A theromatous Plaques of the Carotid A rtery Bifurcation • The clinical diagnosis of an ulcerated plaque at the bifurcation of the common carotid artery is based on: mid-carotid bruit, cholesterol or platelet emboli in the retina, transient ischemic attacks particularly with amaurosis fugax, and a reversible neurological deficit. In this series, thrombosis in situ was the final phenom...
متن کاملStructure of plaque at carotid bifurcation: high-resolution MRI with histological correlation.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The composition of carotid atherosclerosis was visualized by using 3D MRI at high resolution with 200-micrometer (3) voxels. Magnetic resonance signal characteristics were correlated with plaque components, including collagenous cap, necrotic core, and calcification, to define resolution and other requirements for future clinical carotid MRI. METHODS Twenty-one en bloc ...
متن کاملThe carotid bifurcation plaque: pathologic findings associated with cerebral ischemia.
Embolization from or decreased flow through cervical carotid and vertebral arteries causes ischemic stroke syndromes. Specific pathologic findings were studied in 50 symptomatic patients who underwent 69 carotid endarterectomies. Detailed analyses of their carotid plaques included correlations between photographs of gross specimens, microscopic findings, angiograms, preoperative symptoms and lo...
متن کاملMorphological variation of carotid artery bifurcation level in digital angiography.
Knowing of the level of carotid artery bifurcation (CB) is important for vascular surgery in the neck, radical neck dissections, carotid sinus baroreceptor stimulation, catheterisations, and aneurysms. The aim of this study was to determine the CB level in relation with the cervical vertebral levels, compare them on the right and the left sides, and investigate the relation of CB level with the...
