BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Few studies assess nonstenotic carotid plaques on CTA,
and the causative role of these plaques in stroke is not entirely clear. We used CTA to …

Symptomatic nonstenotic carotid artery disease has been increasingly recognized as a
thromboembolic source in patients who would otherwise be classified as having embolic …

Objective: To determine whether large (≥ 3 mm thick) but nonstenotic (< 50%) carotid artery
atherosclerotic plaque predominantly occurs ipsilateral rather than contralateral to …

Background and Purpose—Embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) constitutes a
large proportion of acute ischemic stroke. It is crucial to identify possible stroke etiologies in …

Abstract Introduction Non-stenotic (< 50%) carotid plaques have recently been recognized
as a potential source of stroke. This meta-analysis aims to summarize the prevalence of non …

Background Thromboembolism from nonstenosing carotid plaques may be an
underrecognized cause of embolic strokes of undetermined source (ESUS). We evaluated …

Background and Purpose—This study's objective is to determine if nonstenotic carotid
plaque of< 50% luminal narrowing predominantly develops ipsilateral rather than …

Background The underlying etiology of ischemic stroke remains unknown in up to 30% of
patients. Objectives This study explored the causal role of complicated (American Heart …

Background and Purpose—Carotid artery plaque with< 50% luminal stenosis may be an
underappreciated stroke mechanism. We assessed how many stroke causes might be …

Background We aim to identify the association between high-risk carotid plaques and their
laterality to stroke in ESUS patient population. We also discuss recurrent stroke events and …
