Histological data associate proliferation of adventitial vasa vasorum and intraplaque neovascularization with vulnerable plaques represented by symptomatic vascular disease. In this observational study, the presence carotid were correlated occurrence cardiovascular disease (CVD) events (CVE).The contrast-enhanced ultrasound examinations 147 subjects (mean age 64+/-11 years, 61% male) analyzed for intraluminal plaque, plaque (Grade 1=absent; Grade 2=present), degree 1=absent, 2=present)....
To correlate echogenicity and severity of atherosclerotic carotid artery lesions at standard ultrasonography (US) with the degree intraplaque neovascularization contrast material-enhanced (CE) US.This HIPAA-compliant study was approved by local ethics committee, all patients provided informed consent. A total 175 (113 [65%] men, 62 [35%] women; mean age, 67 years ± 10 [standard deviation]) underwent CE US artery. Lesion (class I to IV), stenosis, maximal lesion thickness were evaluated for...
<b>Purpose:</b> In patients with suspected giant cell arteritis (GCA), a search for the perivascular halo sign, sophisticated color duplex ultrasound (CDU) finding, at experienced centers reliably identifies inflamed temporal arteries (TA). We tested whether TA compression in GCA, simple, largely operator-independent maneuver, elicits contrasting echogenicity between diseased artery wall and surrounding tissue (compression sign). <b>Materials Methods:</b> 80 individuals GCA were...
Aims Carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) predicts cardiovascular (CVD) events, but the predictive value of CIMT change is debated. We assessed relation between and events in individuals at high risk. Methods results From 31 cohorts with two scans (total n = 89070) on average 3.6 years apart clinical follow-up, subcohorts were drawn: (A) least 3 risk factors without previous CVD (B) carotid plaques (C) events. Cox regression models fit to estimate hazard ratio (HR) combined endpoint...
Background and Purpose —The intima-media thickness (IMT) of the carotid artery is a (morphological) sonographic parameter that depends on degree atherosclerosis. In renal arteries, value (hemodynamic) resistive index (RI) correlated with severity contrast to well-known IMT, no study has yet applied RI estimate generalized Methods SMART atherosclerosis risk score was determined in 157 patients (94 men 63 women; mean age [range 19 80] years) at least 1 vascular factor or known disease. Duplex...
Abstract Objectives To assess changes of arterial vessel wall morphology in large GCA patients (LV-GCA) by repeated US. Methods Patients with LV-GCA on US examination were followed up 6, 12 and 24 months after diagnosis the temporal, vertebral, carotid (common, internal, external), subclavian, axillary, femoral (deep, superficial common) popliteal arteries. Clinical laboratory data assessed at each visit. Vessel thickening was classified as moderate, marked or arteriosclerotic. Results A...
Abstract Objectives [18F]Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET/CT and US are both well established for diagnosing GCA. The present study investigates their accuracy whether they provide overlapping or complementary information in a cohort of patients presenting with suspicion Methods We selected consecutive from our suspected GCA cases that underwent extended vascular PET/CT diagnostic work-up between December 2006 August 2012. Results A total 102 were included. Diagnosis was confirmed 68 excluded 34...
