Molecular Imaging of Carotid Plaque Vulnerability
Background: Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) has been shown to be beneficial in patients with high-grade symptomatic carotid artery stenosis. Patients with high-grade asymptomatic stenosis may only exceptionally benefit from CEA during periods of increased plaque vulnerability. Imaging modalities to characterize unstable, vulnerable plaques are strongly needed for better risk stratification in thes...

متن کاملAssessment of carotid plaque vulnerability using structural and geometrical determinants.
BACKGROUND 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 effect of structural determinants on stress distributions within plaque. METHODS AND RESULTS Using a finite element method, structural analysis was pe...
