| Research Abstract |
Carotid atherosclerosis is one of the major causes of cerebral stroke. This can contribute to hemodynamic impairment in the intracranial circulation, as well as artery to artery embolisms. Recently, studies on carotid atherosclerotic plaques have revealed that plaque morphology could be an important additional feature in the risk assessment of patients with carotid stenosis. Certain morphological features of carotid plaques, such as a large lipid rich necrotic core, intraplaque hemorrhage, neovascularization, inflammation, or thin fibrous caps are increasingly reported to be associated with a heightened risk of stroke. Therefore, the concept of the vulnerable or high risk plaque, initially derived from coronary studies, has been increasingly shown to be applicable in the carotid circulation. In this study, we reported multi-modal assessment of the plaque vulnerability to detect high risk patient for stroke.
