The utility of ultrasound and computed tomography in the assessment of carotid artery plaque vulnerability–A mini review

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
As the burden of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events continues to increase, emerging evidence supports the concept of plaque vulnerability as a strong marker of plaque rupture, and embolization. Qualitative assessment of the plaque can identify the

Is the Adventitial Vasa Vasorum in Vulnerable Carotid Plaques Increased or Decreased? [PDF]

Advanced Ultrasound in Diagnosis and Therapy
Background Intraplaque neovascularization is a biomarker of vulnerable plaque. However, no data are available whether the increase in neovascularization within carotid plaques is a result of ischemia or an increase in adventitial vasa vasorum (VV ...

Association between intraplaque neovascularization assessed by contrast-enhanced ultrasound and the risk of stroke [PDF]

Clinical Radiology, 2020
To determine the cut-off value of the area ratio under the curve (ARUC) for predicting symptoms of stroke.Contrast-enhanced ultrasound was used to analyse intraplaque neovascularization (IPN). The correlations between the ARUC and risk factors of stroke were examined.

Studying the Factors of Human Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaque Rupture, by Calculating Stress/Strain in the Plaque, Based on CEUS Images: A Numerical Study

Frontiers in Neuroinformatics, 2020
Carotid plaque neovascularization is one of the major factors for the classification of vulnerable plaque, but the axial force effects of the pulsatile blood flow on the plaque with neovessel and intraplaque hemorrhage was unclear.

Molecular imaging of inflammation and intraplaque vasa vasorum: A step forward to identification of vulnerable plaques? [PDF]

, 2010
Current developments in cardiovascular biology and imaging enable the noninvasive molecular evaluation of atherosclerotic vascular disease. Intraplaque neovascularization sprouting from the adventitial vasa vasorum has been identified as an independent ...

Characteristics and evaluation of atherosclerotic plaques: an overview of state-of-the-art techniques

Frontiers in Neurology, 2023
Atherosclerosis is an important cause of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Lipid infiltration, inflammation, and altered vascular stress are the critical mechanisms that cause atherosclerotic plaque formation.

The role of intraplaque neovascularization in recent and future ischemic stroke in patients with mild carotid stenosis. [PDF]

Ultrasonography
Purpose There is still insufficient evidence for predicting stroke risk in patients with mild carotid atherosclerotic stenosis. This study aimed to explore the association between carotid intraplaque neovascularization (IPN) in mild stenosis and ischemic
