Truth of Floating Carotid Plaques [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2017 The floating plaque in carotid artery is an uncommon condition that can be detected by a duplex ultrasonography scan and is a high-risk factor for embolic cerebrovascular disease.

Carotid plaque stress analysis by fluid structure interaction based on in-vivo MRI: Implications to plaque vulnerability assessment [PDF]
, 2010 This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University, 2010.Stroke is one of the leading causes of death in the world, resulting mostly from the sudden rupture of atherosclerotic plaques.

The Symptomatic Carotid Plaque [PDF]
Stroke, 2000 Background —The natural histories of equally severe symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid stenoses are very different, which suggests dichotomy in plaque behavior. The vascular biology of the symptomatic carotid plaque is presented in this review. Summary of Review —Histology studies

Atherosclerotic carotid plaque segmentation [PDF]
The 26th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2005 Atherosclerosis is the major cause of heart attack and stroke in the western world. In this paper we present a computerized method for segmenting the athrerosclerotic carotid plaque from ultrasound images. The method uses the blood flow image first to detect the initial contour of the plaque, and then despeckle filtering and snakes to deform the ...

Echolucency of carotid plaques correlates with plaque cellularity [PDF]
European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2003 To analyse the relationship between carotid plaque echolucency and cellularity.Carotid plaques (14 symptomatic and 16 asymptomatic) were snap frozen after endarterectomy and defined on the basis of their grey-scale-median (GSM), obtained from pre-operative high-definition ultrasonography, as either echolucent (or=32). DNA and total soluble protein were

Symptomatic Ulcerative Carotid Plaque [PDF]
Circulation, 2008 A 65-year-old man with a history of smoking, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus presented because of sudden-onset left hemiparesis. On admission, neurological examination disclosed a mild left-sided weakness, a normal consciousness level, and a right carotid bruit.

Carotid Plaque Hemodynamics [PDF]
Interventional Neurology, 2012 Internal carotid artery (ICA) plaques constitute one major source of retinal and cerebral brain embolism. Current guidelines recommend optimal treatment of cardiovascular risk factors and recanalization based on the degree of ICA stenosis. However, ICA plaque composition, motion, vascularization, and local hemodynamics have only received limited ...

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2022 Background Carotid plaque and triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index are associated with insulin resistance. However, a highly debated question is whether there is an association between the TyG index and carotid plaque incidence. Thus we performed an in-depth

Advanced Carotid Plaque Imaging [PDF]
European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2010 Treatment of carotid artery stenosis by endarterectomy or stenting can significantly reduce stroke risk. In clinical practice, indication for surgery or stenting is primarily based on the degree of stenosis, but there is growing awareness that pathophysiological features within a vulnerable plaque play a key role in predicting stroke risk.
