Carotid plaque morphology and risk for stroke.
The importance of carotid artery atherosclerosis in the pathogenesis of cerebral ischemia and infarction has been recognized for many years. As early as 1856, Savory pointed out this relationship, and in 1904 Chiari suggested the possibility of cerebral emboli originating from the cervical portion of the carotid artery. The concept was further popularized by Fisher's clinicopathologic reports o...
متن کاملCarotid Plaque Morphology Is Significantly Associated With Sex, Age, and History of Neurological Symptoms.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to analyze the association between morphological characteristics of human carotid plaques and patient's sex, age, and history of neurological symptoms. METHODS The study included 763 atherosclerotic plaques from patients treated surgically for carotid stenosis between 2004 and 2013. Histological analyses of carotid plaques were performed to...
متن کاملDominant Plaque Morphology
Background The study was designed to verify the concept of plaques "at risk" and whether inflammation could play a role in plaque rupture and thrombosis. Methods and Results In 20 patients who had died of acute myocardial infarction, the thrombosed coronary artery was identified and the site of plaque rupture was traced in serial sections. The cellular characteristics of the fibrous cap at the ...
متن کاملPlaque inflammation and unstable morphology are associated with early stroke recurrence in symptomatic carotid stenosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although symptomatic carotid stenosis is associated with 3-fold increased risk of early stroke recurrence, the pathophysiologic mechanisms of high early stroke risk have not been established. We aimed to investigate the relationship between early stroke recurrence after initial symptoms and histological features of plaque inflammation and instability in resected carotid p...
متن کاملThe analysis of the connection between plaque morphology of asymptomatic carotid stenosis and ischemic brain lesions.
BACKGROUND/AIM A certain percentage of patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis have an unstable carotid plaque. For these patients it is possible to register the existence of lesions of the brain parenchyma - the silent brain infarction. These patients have a greater risk of ischemic stroke by modern imaging methods. The aim of this study was to analyze the connection between the morphology...
