Increased Leucocyte-Platelet Complex Formation in Recently Symptomatic versus Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis Patients and in Micro-emboli Negative Subgroups.

CONCLUSION: These data add to the evidence that leucocyte-platelet complex formation/platelet activation is increased in recently symptomatic versus asymptomatic patients, and may contribute to the pathogenesis of first and subsequent strokes in carotid stenosis patients, including those who are MES negative.
