متن کاملSymptomatic Versus Asymptomatic High-Grade Internal Carotid Artery Stenosis
Background and Purpose Thromboembolic stroke is likely to occur in patients with a restricted cerebral blood flow reserve. Our aims were to determine (1) whether symptomatic patients had any significant hemodynamic restriction ipsilateral to carotid occlusive disease compared with patients whose carotid stenosis is asymptomatic and (2) whether patients with carotid occlusive disease have impair...
متن کاملFour-dimensional ultrasonographic characterization of plaque surface motion in patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In vitro studies of atherosclerotic plaque fracture mechanics suggest that analysis of local variations in surface deformability may provide information on relative vulnerability to plaque fissuring or rupture. We investigated plaque surface deformations in patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid artery disease using 4-dimensional ultrasonography and techniques...
