Fibrous Cap Thickness and Stability of Carotid Atheromata [PDF]

Stroke, 2006
To the Editor: We read with great interest the article by Li et al.1 The authors are to be congratulated for their excellent study. We totally agree that clinical decision-making in patients with carotid disease should take into consideration plaque morphology (eg, fibrous cap thickness) as well as the degree of lumen stenosis.

Local Delivery of miR-21 Stabilizes Fibrous Caps in Vulnerable Atherosclerotic Lesions [PDF]

Molecular Therapy, 2018
miRNAs are potential regulators of carotid artery stenosis and concordant vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques. Hence, we analyzed miRNA expression in laser captured micro-dissected fibrous caps of either ruptured or stable plaques (n = 10 each), discovering that miR-21 was significantly downregulated in unstable lesions.

Ultrasound Measurement of the Fibrous Cap in Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Atheromatous Carotid Plaques [PDF]

Circulation, 2005
Background— Fibrous cap thickness (FCT) is an important determinant of atheroma stability. We evaluated the feasibility and potential clinical implications of measuring the FCT of internal carotid artery plaques with a new ultrasound system based on boundary detection by dynamic programming.

Revised microcalcification hypothesis for fibrous cap rupture in human coronary arteries [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013
Using 2.1-µm high-resolution microcomputed tomography, we have examined the spatial distribution, clustering, and shape of nearly 35,000 microcalcifications (µCalcs) ≥ 5 µm in the fibrous caps of 22 nonruptured human atherosclerotic plaques.

Fibrous Cap Smooth Muscle Cells in Atherosclerotic Coronary Arteries Do Not Express Pluripotent Stem Cell Markers [PDF]

, 2013
Rupture of the coronary artery fibrous cap is a common cause of myocardial infarction, and bone marrow derived cells could play a role in preventing plaque rupture.

Consideration of stiffness of wall layers is decisive for patient-specific analysis of carotid artery with atheroma

PLoS ONE, 2020
The paper deals with the impact of chosen geometric and material factors on maximal stresses in carotid atherosclerotic plaque calculated using patient-specific finite element models.

Dapatkah Matrix Metalloproteinase Memprediksi Luasnya Kerusakan Miokard?

Majalah Kardiologi Indonesia, 2013
Trombosis arteri merupakan dasar terjadinya sindrom koroner akut. Sebagian besar trombosis terjadi pada robekan plak pada bagian fibrous cap yang tipis.

Using optical coherence tomography and intravascular ultrasound imaging to quantify coronary plaque cap thickness and vulnerability: a pilot study

BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2020
Background Detecting coronary vulnerable plaques in vivo and assessing their vulnerability have been great challenges for clinicians and the research community.

Intravascular palpography for high-risk vulnerable plaque assessment. [PDF]

, 2003
Item does not contain fulltextBACKGROUND: The composition of an atherosclerotic plaque is considered more important than the degree of stenosis. An unstable lesion may rupture and cause an acute thrombotic reaction.

Atherosclerotic carotid plaque composition: a 3T and 7T MRI-histology correlation study [PDF]

, 2016
Background and Purpose Carotid artery atherosclerotic plaque composition may influence plaque stability and risk of thromboembolic events, and non-invasive plaque imaging may therefore permit risk stratification for clinical management.
