Associations of plaque morphology and location with Intraplaque neovascularization in the carotid artery by contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging

Frontiers in Neurology, 2023
ObjectiveIntraplaque neovascularization (IPN) is a known indicator of plaque vulnerability, and is thus considered a predictor of stroke. The morphology and location of the carotid plaque may be correlated with plaque vulnerability.

A critical reappraisal of the carotid sinus and carotid bulb: Distinguishing neurohistological function from vascular geometry

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
This review redefines the carotid bulb (CB) as a variable geometric dilation shaped by hemodynamics and the carotid sinus (CS) as a conserved neurohistological baroreceptor field. Distinguishing these entities clarifies a century of anatomical confusion and links geometry, neurohistology, and clinical interpretation within a unified framework ...

Relations of lipid parameters, other variables with carotid intima-media thickness and plaque in the general Chinese adults: an observational study

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2018
Background It has been reported that non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) and lipid ratios, including total cholesterol (TC) / high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) / HDL-C, are ...

Atherectomy With Multimodal Embolic Protection for Severely Calcified Femoropopliteal Lesions

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Severe calcification in femoropopliteal lesions remains a clinical challenge to achieve both the technical and long‐term success in endovascular therapy. Although atherectomy is an effective treatment for calcified lesions, it is associated with the risk of distal embolization, even with the use of embolic protection devices (EPDs), and ...

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

Clinical Impact of Angiographic Complications Occurring During Percutaneous Coronary Interventions

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The clinical impact of different types of angiographic complications during elective PCIs remains largely unexplored. Aims To explore the incidence, management, and outcomes of angiographic complications by type and severity during non‐urgent, non‐CTO PCIs. Methods Clinical and procedural characteristics were prospectively collected

Carotid plaque volume in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy [PDF]

British Journal of Surgery, 2018
Abstract Background The main indication for carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is severity of carotid artery stenosis, even though most strokes in carotid disease are embolic. The relationship between carotid plaque volume (CPV) and symptoms of cerebral ischaemia, and the measurement of CPV by minimally ...

Connecting the dots: A narrative review of the relationship between heart failure and cognitive impairment

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1119-1131, April 2025.
Abstract Large clinical data underscore that heart failure is independently associated to an increased risk of negative cognitive outcome and dementia. Emerging evidence suggests that cerebral hypoperfusion, stemming from reduced cardiac output and vascular pathology, may contribute to the largely overlapping vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease ...
