Current status and advances in ultrasound evaluation of neovascularization within carotid artery plaques: a systematic review

Cardiovascular Ultrasound
Vulnerable plaques are significant risk factors for acute ischemic events, and intraplaque neovascularization (IPN) is an important indicator for evaluating plaque vulnerability.

The role of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in risk assessment of carotid atheroma [PDF]

Romanian Journal of Military Medicine, 2016
Background and objective: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound, used to assess atherosclerotic carotid plaques, improves visualization of vessel wall irregularities and depicts intraplaque neovascularization.

99mTc-labeled bevacizumab for detecting atherosclerotic plaque linked to plaque neovascularization and monitoring antiangiogenic effects of atorvastatin treatment in ApoE−/− mice

Scientific Reports, 2017
Atherosclerotic neovascularization plays a significant role in plaque instability as it provides additional lipids and inflammatory mediators to lesions, and resulting in intraplaque hemorrhage. Vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) is considered

The value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in assessing carotid plaque vulnerability and predicting stroke risk

Scientific Reports
The presence of vulnerable carotid plaques plays a critical role in ischemic stroke pathogenesis, with intraplaque neovascularization (IPN) serving as a key indicator of plaque instability.

Relationship between fibroblast growth factor in plasma and carotid plaque neovascularization: a pilot study

Frontiers in Immunology
BackgroundUnstable atherosclerotic carotid plaques with intraplaque neovascularization (IPN) carry a substantial risk for ischemic stroke. Conventional ultrasound methods fall short in detecting IPN, where superb microvascular imaging (SMI) has emerged ...

Neutrophil extracellular traps mediate the crosstalk between plaque microenvironment and unstable carotid plaque formation

Experimental and Molecular Medicine
The development of unstable carotid atherosclerotic plaques is associated with the induction of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) via the activation of diverse inflammatory mediators in the circulating bloodstream.
