Review of imaging biomarkers for the vulnerable carotid plaque
2021, JVS-Vascular ScienceCitation Excerpt :In addition, the pathology of asymptomatic and symptomatic carotid plaques overlaps considerably. Recent and old hemorrhages, ulceration, and organized thrombi are commonly found in both symptomatic and asymptomatic stenotic plaques examined pathologically25,27-31,35-37 (Fig 1). Intraplaque hemorrhage may well be important in the production of cerebrovascular symptoms, but its mere presence does not make it directly a cause of symptoms.27

2011, European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular SurgeryCitation Excerpt :The present findings of increased soft tissue in patients presenting with recent symptoms as compared to asymptomatic patients or patients with more ancient symptoms supports these theories. Early studies indicated that haemorrhage was found more frequently in symptomatic than in asymptomatic patients; however, in some later studies these findings were not reproduced.26–31 In a recent review Merritt and Bluth10 reported that intraplaque haemorrhage was found between 1.2 and 6.7 times more frequently in symptomatic patients as those in asymptomatic patients; however, two studies reporting higher frequency of haemorrhage in asymptomatic patients were not included29,31 A correlation between recent haemorrhage and recent symptoms, in concordance with the theory of surface fracture with subsequent haemorrhage and embolisation, was suggested, but this was not convincingly reproduced by others.28,29,31
