2018, Liu, Volpe, and Galetta's Neuro-Ophthalmology: Diagnosis and ManagementAssessment of ‘on-treatment platelet reactivity’ and relationship with cerebral micro-embolic signals in asymptomatic and symptomatic carotid stenosis
2017, Journal of the Neurological SciencesCitation Excerpt :Pilot ‘symptomatic case’ vs. ‘asymptomatic case/control’, and ‘nested longitudinal’ studies in symptomatic patients with moderate-severe carotid stenosis were performed. Consecutive eligible patients > 18 years old with asymptomatic or symptomatic moderate or severe carotid artery stenosis or carotid occlusion, identified on colour Doppler ultrasound using standardised velocity criteria [25,26], were recruited from the Rapid Access Stroke Prevention (RASP) Service, vascular surgery or general neurology clinics, and the neurology and vascular surgery wards and stroke service at AMNCH and St James's Hospitals between August 2007 and February 2010. Patients were included in the ‘asymptomatic carotid stenosis group’ if they were incidentally noted to have moderate (50–69%) or severe (≥ 70%) carotid stenosis on colour Doppler ultrasound imaging (CDUS), e.g. after noting an audible carotid bruit or during work up for coronary artery disease [9,19].
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging of carotid plaque neo-vascularization: Accuracy of visual analysis
2014, Ultrasound in Medicine and BiologyCitation Excerpt :Unstable plaques usually have a thin fibrous cap with a necrotic core situated near the surface (Hennerici 2004). By measuring degree of stenosis and by characterizing its structure, ultrasound is the method of choice for the evaluation of atherosclerotic carotid plaque (Sidhu and Allan 1997) and its clinical risk. Recent work has indicated that neo-angiogenesis may also play an important role in the development of unstable plaque (Fleiner et al. 2004; McCarthy et al. 1999; Moreno et al. 2004).
Magnetic resonance detected carotid plaque hemorrhage is associated with inflammatory features in symptomatic carotid plaques
2013, Annals of Vascular SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Patients were recruited with high-grade carotid disease (>60%) for symptomatic disease (stroke, transient ischemic attack, or amaurosis fugax) and carotid endarterectomy was performed as clinically indicated as soon as possible after the symptomatic event. The degree of stenosis was determined by duplex ultrasound using the NASCET criteria.10 The study was approved by the local research and ethics committee and all participants gave written informed consent.
