Measurement of Carotid Plaque Burden
JAMA Neurology, 2015Purpose of reviewTo describe the uses of measurement of carotid plaque burden, as total plaque area (TPA), total plaque volume (TPV), and vessel wall volume (VWV), which includes plaque burden and wall volume.Recent findingsMeasurement of plaque burden is useful for risk stratification, research into the genetics and biology of atherosclerosis, for ...

Ultrasonographic Characterization of Carotid Plaques
Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology, 1998The composition of atherosclerotic plaques in the carotid artery is assumed to be related to the development of neurological symptoms. The echo patterns produced by B-mode ultrasound may be of use in the assessment of the plaques' composition. It is suggested that fibrotic and "stable" plaques are more echogenic than lipid/hemorrhagic and echolucent or

Carotid endarterectomy for high plaques
The American Journal of Surgery, 1989Seventeen instances of high plaque (plaque extending up to the level of the second cervical vertebra) were encountered out of a total of 454 carotid endarterectomies (3.7 percent). With careful dissection and knowledge of anatomy superior to hypoglossal nerve, carotid endarterectomy was accomplished without resorting to mandibular subluxation or ...

ObjectivesCarotid plaque ulcers confer an increased risk for stroke/ transient ischemic attacks in both symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis. Little is known about the healing rates of ulcers or the development of new ulcers. Carotid Duplex studies are noninvasive and easily repeatable tests to monitor progression of carotid stenosis ...

Histologic characterization of carotid plaques
Cardiovascular Pathology, 1994From January 1988 to December 1989, we performed a total of 278 carotid thromboendarterectomies. The plaque was systematically prepared for anatomicopathological analysis by standard light microscopic techniques. We sought to correlate the histology of the endarterectomy specimen with the clinical data.

Carotid Endarterectomy for Asymptomatic Plaque
Neurologic Clinics, 2006Statistical correlations are linear noninteractive relationships, but the dynamics of causation are nonlinear and involve complex interactions where variables change through their effect on one another and interact with the context of the patient over time. The discovery and interpretation of plaque vulnerable features in the individual patient are not

The authors report a case of a 77 years old male patient with mild stenosis of the carotid artery caused by an exulcerated plaque in the carotid bifurcation. The patient presented with recurrent ipsilateral strokes which were treated with intravenous thrombolysis.

This study examined the importance of ultrasonic plaque morphology and its correlation to the presence of intraplaque hemorrhage and clinical implications.One hundred fifty-two carotid plaques associated with > or = 50% internal carotid artery stenoses in 135 patients who had carotid endarterectomies were characterized ultrasonographically into ...

Revista de neurologia, 2002
In the literature only seven cases have been published describing a mobile carotid plaque, and lack of precise description makes it difficult to differentiate these lesions from mobile thrombotic lesions. The natural history of these lesions is not known and their treatment is controversial, although there is a tendency to choose the type of treatment ...
