The Unstable Carotid Plaque

Anesthesiology Clinics, 2022
Carotid revascularization is performed to prevent cerebrovascular events in patients with symptomatic (>50%) and asymptomatic high degree (>70%) carotid stenosis. As this operation carries significant risks for perioperative stroke, careful selection of patients who will benefit from the procedure is essential. Certain plaque characteristics, including

Carotid plaque rupture

The Lancet, 2009
A 74-year-old man presented with left-sided monocular visual loss as a result of branch retinal artery occlusion. Carotid ultrasonography showed mild (20%) left carotid artery stenosis but no embolic source was identifi ed. MRI of the carotid artery showed a large atherosclerotic plaque at the origin of the left internal carotid artery, despite only ...

Carotid Plaque Disruption

Archives of Neurology, 1989
To the Editor. —We found the hypothesis of carotid plaque disruption proposed by Fisher et al 1 interesting but at variance with our clinicopathologic data in Toronto, Canada. The authors emphasize surface events in carotid plaques, but we believe that events within the body of the plaque may be equally, or even more, important.

Carotid Plaque Morphologic Characteristics

Perspectives in Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy, 2006
Carotid artery atherosclerosis is predominantly believed to mirror atherosclerosis elsewhere in the body. Endothelial injury results in expression of cell surface adhesion molecules with expression of sequence of genes involved in the inflammatory pathway and expression of proinflammatory cytokines.

Imaging of Carotid Plaque Angiogenesis

Cerebrovascular Diseases, 2009
Currently, characterization of the vulnerable plaque is a hot research topic as a more adequate strategy for preventing cerebrovascular events is being sought. Histological studies have recognized that plaque inflammation and the presence of adventitial vasa vasorum, intimal angiogenesis and plaque neovascularization are strong predictors of ...
