Plaque Vulnerability in Internal Carotid Arteries with Positive Remodeling

Plaque Vulnerability in Internal Carotid Arteries with Positive Remodeling

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of assessing positive remodeling for predicting future stroke events in the internal carotid artery. We therefore assessed narrowing of the carotid artery lumen using multidetector-row computer tomography (MDCT) angiography and carotid plaque cha...
