Vulnerable carotid plaques are associated with the development of early restenosis after carotid endarterectomy
Background. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is widely recognised as an effective surgical method in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with significant internal carotid artery stenosis. Although the association between vulnerable carotid plaques and stroke is well established, little is known about their role in development of myointimal hyperplasia after carotid surgery. In the current study we aimed to establish correlation between plaque morphology (as observed by ultrasonic scan) and the degree of myointimal hyperplasia after CEA.
