Identification of neovascularization by contrast-enhanced ultrasound to detect unstable carotid stenosis. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Plaque neovascularization accompanies local inflammation and critically contributes to plaque instability. Correct identification of intraplaque neovascularization by contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) may provide an additional risk marker in carotid ...

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

open access: yesBMC 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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound: clinical applications in patients with atherosclerosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is increasingly being used to evaluate patients with known or suspected atherosclerosis. The administration of a microbubble contrast agent in conjunction with ultrasound results in an improved image quality and ...
