Rapid Progression of a CT-Defined Vulnerable Coronary Plaque: A Multimodality Imaging Case Report

Case Reports in Cardiology
Rapid progression of vulnerable plaques due to intraplaque neovascularization and hemorrhage is deemed as an important process preceding plaque rupture leading to myocardial infarction.

Dual-energy computed tomography iodine maps for visualizing enhancement and estimating characteristics in plaques [PDF]

Radiology Case Reports
Distal embolism causing acute ischemic events due to rupture of vulnerable plaques can occur during endovascular therapy, necessitating careful treatment and technique selection. Intraplaque neovascularization (IPN) is a key factor in plaque instability.

Long-Term Clinical Effects of Carotid Intraplaque Neovascularization in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease. [PDF]

Korean J Radiol, 2020
To investigate the predictive value of intraplaque neovascularization (IPN) for cardiovascular outcomes.We evaluated 217 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) (158 men; mean age, 68 ± 10 years) with a maximal carotid plaque thickness ≥ 1.5 mm for the presence of IPN using contrast-enhanced ultrasonography.

Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound to Assess Carotid Intraplaque Neovascularization [PDF]

Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology, 2020
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is increasingly being used to identify patients with carotid plaques that are vulnerable to rupture, so-called vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques, by assessment of intraplaque neovascularization. A complete overview of the strengths and limitations of carotid CEUS is currently not available.

Multimodal ultrasound-based carotid plaque risk biomarkers predict poor functional outcome in patients with ischemic stroke or TIA

BMC Neurology, 2023
Background Carotid vulnerable plaque is an important risk factor for stroke occurrence and recurrence. However, the relationship between risk parameters related to carotid vulnerable plaque (plaque size, echogenicity, intraplaque neovascularization, and ...

The Course of Carotid Plaque Vulnerability Assessed by Advanced Neurosonology

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
Background: Carotid artery atherosclerosis is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke. This risk is related to plaque vulnerability and is characterized by plaque morphology, intraplaque neovascularization, and cerebral microembolization.
