Atrial cardiopathy and non-stenotic intracranial complicated atherosclerotic plaque in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source
(2022)OBJECTIVE: To assess (1) the association between atrial cardiopathy (AC) and non-stenotic intracranial complicated atherosclerotic plaque (NICAP) in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) or small-vessel ... -
Atrial cardiopathy and nonstenosing large artery plaque in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source
(2020)Background and Purpose—Atrial cardiopathy and atherosclerotic plaque are two potential mechanisms underlying embolic strokes of undetermined source (ESUS). The relationship between these two mechanisms among ESUS patients ... -
Carotid artery plaque echomorphology and its association with histopathologic characteristics
(2018)Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the association of ultrasonic texture features (severity of stenosis, grey scale median, plaque area, juxtaluminal black area [JBA], and discrete white areas) previously ... -
Carotid Bifurcation Geometry and Atherosclerosis
(2017)Hemodynamic changes occurring at the initial segments of the arterial bifurcations appear to play an important role in the development of atherosclerotic plaque. Therefore, arterial geometry might be a potential marker for ... -
Carotid Bifurcation Geometry as Assessed by Ultrasound is Associated with Early Carotid Atherosclerosis
(2018)Background: Atherosclerosis usually develops at geometrically susceptible areas, despite the impact of systemic risk factors on the entire vascular system. The aim of our study was to investigate whether carotid bifurcation ... -
Carotid plaques and detection of atrial fibrillation in embolic stroke of undetermined source
(2019)OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between the presence of ipsilateral nonstenotic carotid plaques and the rate of detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) during follow-up in patients with embolic strokes of undetermined ... -
The characteristics of intracranial plaques of unilateral, anterior circulation embolic stroke of undetermined source: An analysis of different subtypes based on high-resolution imaging
(2022)Background and purpose: The aim was to investigate the characteristics of non-stenotic intracranial plaque (NSIP) in embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) subtypes by high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging. ... -
Diagnosis and management of chronic coronary artery disease
(2007)Coronary artery disease (CAD) usually coexists with atherosclerosis of other arterial trees and is accelerated by several risk factors. It may remain asymptomatic for a long period affecting the vessel wall with no lumen ... -

Intracranial and systemic atherosclerosis in the NAVIGATE ESUS trial: Recurrent stroke risk and response to antithrombotic therapy
(2020)Background: Non-stenotic intracranial and systemic atherosclerosis are associated with ischemic stroke. We report frequency and response to anticoagulant vs. antiplatelet prophylaxis of patients with embolic stroke of ... -
Intracranial Atherosclerotic Plaque as a Potential Cause of Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source
(2021)Background: Previous studies investigated the potential mechanism of embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) from extracranial artery plaque, but there has been no study other than a case report on high-risk intracranial ... -
Loss of heterozygosity in DNA mismatch repair genes in human atherosclerotic plaques
(2001)To detect the incidence of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in DNA mismatch repair genes (MMR) occurring in atherosclerosis, fifty human autopsy cases of atherosclerosis were examined for LOH using 19 microsatellite markers, ... -
Pet tracers for vulnerable plaque imaging
(2020)Most of the acute ischemic events, such as acute coronary syndromes and stroke, are attributed to vulnerable plaques. These lesions have common histological and pathophysiological features, including inflammatory cell ... -
Real-world experience of extracranial carotid artery interventions for atherosclerotic disease during a 10-year period
(2018)BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to assess the long-term outcome of carotid disease treatment with endarterectomy or stenting (CEAor CAS) in a real-world setting during a 10-year period. METHODS: Asingle center ... -
Supracardiac atherosclerosis in embolic stroke of undetermined source: The underestimated source
(2021)The term ‘embolic stroke of undetermined source’ (ESUS) is used to describe patients with a non-lacunar ischaemic stroke without any identified embolic source from the heart or the arteries supplying the ischaemic territory, ...
