Ulcerated 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 کاملEndogenous expression of C-reactive protein is increased in active (ulcerated noncomplicated) human carotid artery plaques.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There is growing evidence suggesting that C-reactive protein (CRP) is an effecter molecule able to induce and promote atherothrombosis. The presence of CRP in atherosclerotic plaques may reflect local production or infiltration from circulating CRP increased in general inflammatory responses. Our aim was to analyze the presence of CRP in human advanced carotid artery plaq...
متن کاملWhy do ulcerated atherosclerotic carotid artery plaques embolize? A flow dynamics study.
PURPOSE We describe and analyze flow dynamics and pressure relationships in an ulcerated atherosclerotic human carotid bulb. METHODS Replicas of an ulcerated atherosclerotic human carotid bulb were created using the lost wax technique. The resulting replicas were placed in a circuit of pulsating non-Newtonian fluid and flows were adjusted to replicate human physiological flow profiles. Common...
متن کاملThe natural history of asymptomatic carotid bifurcation plaques.
Seventy-three patients with an angiographically identified asymptomatic stenosis (greater than 50%) and/or ulceration of the common carotid bifurcation have been followed from 6 months to 10 years (average 4 years). All patients had previously undergone contralateral carotid endarterectomy for a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or minor stroke in that carotid territory. During follow-up, 22 pati...
متن کاملRuptured Atheromatous Plaques
Although early occlusion of saphenous vein coronary artery bypass grafts is usually thrombotic, late occlusion is most often a result of progressive intimal fibromuscular proliferation or atheroma formation in the implanted vein. We describe another mechanism of late graft occlusion: atheromatous plaque rupture with superimposed occlusive thrombosis. Four men, ages 48-67 years underwent repeat ...
