New quantification methods for carotid intraplaque neovascularization in contrast enhanced ultrasound

open access: yes2013 IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium (IUS), 2013
Carotid intraplaque neovascularization (IPN) has been associated with progressive atherosclerotic disease and plaque vulnerability. Therefore, its accurate quantification might allow early detection of plaque vulnerability. Contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can detect these small microvessels.

CCL14 exacerbates intraplaque vulnerability by promoting neovascularization in the human carotid plaque

Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases, 2022
To examine the role of CCL14 in the neovascularization process and vulnerability progression within carotid plaques by investigating the mechanism of CCL14 regulation of VEGF-A.We first performed histological analysis and immunohistochemical staining of human carotid plaque tissue to detect the expression of CCL14, JAK2, STAT3 and VEGF-A.

Carotid intraplaque hemorrhage: The significance of neovascularity

Journal of Vascular Surgery, 1987
Renewed interest in the neovascularity of atherosclerotic plaques has followed the work of Imparato et al., which confirmed the importance of carotid intraplaque hemorrhage in the production of symptomatic extracranial vascular disease. We have studied the detailed histology of 91 carotid atheromatous plaques with particular regard to hemorrhage and ...

Intraplaque neovascularization and hemorrhage

Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2012
Atherosclerotic disease results in major clinical events and remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the western World. Atherosclerotic plaques have a heterogeneous presentation. Atherosclerotic plaques with a vulnerable phenotype have been associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular complications.

Detection of Carotid Artery Stenosis with Intraplaque Hemorrhage and Neovascularization Using a Scanning Interferometer

Nano Letters, 2021
Carotid artery stenosis (CAS) is a major cause of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA, mini-stroke) in the United States. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA), a surgical procedure, is used to treat CAS. According to the American Heart Association, 1 out of 5 patients underwent CEA inappropriately, which was most commonly due to apparent overestimation of

Mathematical modeling of atherosclerotic plaque destabilization: Role of neovascularization and intraplaque hemorrhage

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2018
Observational studies have identified angiogenesis from the adventitial vasa vasorum and intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) as critical factors in atherosclerotic plaque progression and destabilization. Here we propose a mathematical model incorporating intraplaque neovascularization and hemodynamic calculation with plaque destabilization for the ...

Carotid Intraplaque Neovascularization Predicts Ischemic Stroke Recurrence in Patients with Carotid Atherosclerosis

Gerontology, 2021
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> This study aimed to examine whether intraplaque neovascularization (IPN) of carotid plaques, as characterized by contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), is associated with ischemic stroke recurrence in patients with carotid atherosclerosis.

Effect of pharmacologic anti-atherosclerotic therapy on carotid intraplaque neovascularization: A systematic review

Journal of Clinical Lipidology, 2023
Intraplaque neovascularization (IPN), a key feature of vulnerable carotid plaque, is associated with adverse cardiovascular (CV) events. Statin therapy has been shown to diminish and stabilize atherosclerotic plaque, but its effect on IPN is uncertain.
