Quantitative assessment of carotid plaque surface irregularities and correlation to cerebrovascular symptoms
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine whether surface irregularities measured from ultrasound images of carotid artery plaques and quantified using a novel method, correlate with the presence of ipsilateral hemispheric cerebrovascular symptoms. METHODS A plaque surface irregularity index (SII) was measured in 47 carotid artery plaques (32 subjects, stenosis range 10% -95%, 49%...
متن کاملPredicting carotid plaque characteristics using quantitative color-coded T1-weighted MR plaque imaging: correlation with carotid endarterectomy specimens.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE MR plaque imaging is used to evaluate the risk of embolic complications during carotid endarterectomy and carotid artery stent placement. However, its performance for characterizing intraplaque components has varied across studies and is generally suboptimal. Hence, we correlated MR imaging results with histologic findings to determine whether a combination of high-contra...
متن کاملThe correlation of carotid plaque pathohistologic features and neurological symptoms: a meta-analysis of observational studies.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between the pathological features of carotid plaque and ipsilateral symptoms of cerebral ischemia. MATERIALS AND METHODS We sought to identify clinical observational studies comparing the incidence of pathological features between symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid plaques in terms of ulceration, thrombosis and intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH), published...

15 صفحه اولCarotid bifurcation atherosclerosis. Quantitative correlation of plaque localization with flow velocity profiles and wall shear stress.
The distribution of nonstenosing, asymptomatic intimal plaques in 12 adult human carotid bifurcations obtained at autopsy was compared with the distribution of flow streamline patterns, flow velocity profiles, and shear stresses in corresponding scale models. The postmortem specimens were fixed while distended to restore normal in vivo length, diameter, and configuration. Angiograms were used t...
