The carotid plaque imaging in acute stroke (CAPIAS) study: protocol and initial baseline data
BACKGROUND In up to 30% of patients with ischemic stroke no definite etiology can be established. A significant proportion of cryptogenic stroke cases may be due to non-stenosing atherosclerotic plaques or low grade carotid artery stenosis not fulfilling common criteria for atherothrombotic stroke. The aim of the CAPIAS study is to determine the frequency, characteristics, clinical and radiolog...

متن کاملCarotid plaque echolucency increases the risk of stroke in carotid stenting: the Imaging in Carotid Angioplasty and Risk of Stroke (ICAROS) study.
BACKGROUND Carotid artery stenting (CAS) has recently emerged as a potential alternative to carotid endarterectomy. Cerebral embolization is the most devastating complication of CAS, and the echogenicity of carotid plaque has been indicated as one of the risk factors involved. This is the first study to analyze the role of a computer-assisted highly reproducible index of echogenicity, namely th...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging of carotid atherosclerotic plaque in clinically suspected acute transient ischemic attack and acute ischemic stroke.
BACKGROUND Carotid atherosclerotic plaque rupture is thought to cause transient ischemic attack (TIA) and ischemic stroke (IS). Pathological hallmarks of these plaques have been identified through observational studies. Although generally accepted, the relationship between cerebral thromboembolism and in situ atherosclerotic plaque morphology has never been directly observed noninvasively in th...
متن کاملStroke care: initial data from a county-based bypass protocol for patients with acute stroke
BACKGROUND Early identification and transfer of patients with acute stroke to a primary or comprehensive stroke center results in favorable outcomes. OBJECTIVE To describe implementation and results of an emergency medical service (EMS)-driven stroke protocol in Lucas County, Ohio. METHOD All county EMS personnel (N=464) underwent training in the Rapid Arterial oCclusion Evaluation (RACE) s...
