CT and MR Imaging of Carotid Wall and Plaque

, 2019
Imaging of the carotid artery wall is the focus of several ongoing research studies that are investigating the optimal approach to identify so-called “vulnerable plaques”.

Observation of the embolus protection filter for carotid artery stenting [PDF]

, 2009
Background: Carotid artery stenting (CAS) in high-surgical-risk patients is considered as an effective alternative to carotid endarterectomy. Since the occurrence of distal embolization with CAS is still major concern, embolus protection device is ...

Association between serum γ-glutamyltransferase and the stability of carotid atherosclerotic plaque

Chinese Journal of Contemporary Neurology and Neurosurgery, 2016
Objective To investigate the relation between the level of serum γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT) and the stability of carotid atherosclerotic plaque.  Methods A total of 1032 patients with carotid atherosclerotic plaques were divided into stable plaque ...

Characterization of the proteome of stable and unstable carotid atherosclerotic plaques using data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry

Journal of Translational Medicine
Background Currently, noninvasive imaging techniques and circulating biomarkers are still insufficient to accurately assess carotid plaque stability, and an in-depth understanding of the molecular mechanisms that contribute to plaque instability is still

RNAseq based transcriptomics study of SMCs from carotid atherosclerotic plaque: BMP2 and IDs proteins are crucial regulators of plaque stability

Scientific Reports, 2017
Carotid artery atherosclerosis is a risk factor to develop cerebrovascular disease. Atheroma plaque can become instable and provoke a cerebrovascular event or else remain stable as asymptomatic type. The exact mechanism involved in plaque destabilization

Carotid plaque characteristics by computed Tomography: A diagnostic accuracy systematic review

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature
Beyond the stenosis degree, the carotid plaque morphology assessed by computed tomography may improve the stroke risk stratification and is recommended to be considered before interventional treatment according to current guidelines.

S-Nitrosoglutathione reduces asymptomatic embolization after carotid angioplasty [PDF]

, 2002
Background: The major complication of carotid angioplasty is embolic stroke, which may occur after balloon inflation and deflation or in the early postintervention period.

Analysis of the Correlation Between Cuproptosis and Instability of Atherosclerotic Plaques

Biomedicines
Background/Objectives: Cuproptosis, a newly discovered form of programmed cell death, is dependent on the regulation of copper ions. The roles and mechanisms of cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) in the instability of atherosclerotic plaques are still ...

Assessment of carotid plaque vulnerability using structural and geometrical determinants

, 2008
Background \ud \ud Because many acute cerebral ischemic events are caused by rupture of vulnerable carotid atheroma and subsequent thrombosis, the present study used both idealized and patient-specific carotid atheromatous plaque models to evaluate the ...
