Intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) is one of the main factors involved in atherosclerotic plaque
(AP) instability. Its recognition is crucial for the correct staging and management of patients …

Vulnerable carotid atherosclerotic plaques are characterised by several risk factors, such as
inflammation, neovascularization and intraplaque haemorrhage (IPH). Vulnerable plaques …

Objectives: Embolic ischemic strokes cause significant mortality and morbidity worldwide. It
has been proposed that some of these strokes are due to unstable carotid plaques with …

Background and Purpose—The main objective of this study was to evaluate CT
angiographic (CTA) features that are able to predict the presence of intraplaque hemorrhage …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Intraplaque hemorrhage contributes to lipid core
enlargement and plaque progression, leading to plaque destabilization and stroke. The …

Background Several studies have shown a linkage between intraplaque neovascularization
(IPN) and plaque instability. Although contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) may help …

Background and Purpose—High-resolution, multicontrast magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) has developed into an effective tool for the identification of carotid atherosclerotic …

Objective—Intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) is an emerging marker of plaque instability.
However, little is known about the relationships between IPH and traditional risk factors and …

Objectives To investigate the usefulness of Simultaneous Non-contrast Angiography and
intraPlaque haemorrhage (SNAP) imaging in characterising carotid intraplaque …

Background and Purpose—A significant proportion of ischemic strokes are caused by
emboli from unstable carotid artery plaques with intraplaque neovascularization (IPN) as a …
