Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaque Characteristics Are Associated With Microembolization During Carotid Endarterectomy and Procedural Outcome (original) (raw)
AI-generated Abstract
Carotid artery stenosis is a prevalent issue linked to transient ischemic attacks and strokes, with carotid endarterectomy (CEA) being a common treatment despite a risk of perioperative strokes. The study examines the relationship between carotid plaque characteristics and the incidence of microembolization during CEA, utilizing transcranial Doppler monitoring to assess embolic events. The findings indicate that specific plaque phenotypes correlate with microembolic events, highlighting the significance of plaque characteristics in predicting procedural outcomes.
