Evaluation of non-stenotic carotid atherosclerotic plaques with combined FDG-PET imaging and CT angiography in patients with ischemic stroke of unknown origin

Nidaa Mikail et al.

Summary: In patients with cryptogenic ischemic stroke and non-stenotic plaques, FDG-PET-CTA imaging showed an increased prevalence of high-risk plaque features in the carotid artery ipsilateral to stroke, suggesting a causal relationship for these plaques.

Predictors of Recurrent Stroke After Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source in the RE-SPECT ESUS Trial

Victor J. Del Brutto et al.

Summary: This study used Cox proportional hazards models to identify recurrent stroke predictors among patients with embolic strokes of undetermined source (ESUS), finding that factors such as prior strokes or transient ischemic attacks, reduced creatinine clearance, male sex, and high CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc scores were independently associated with recurrence.

Summary: The study suggests that carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is safe and well-tolerated in patients with symptomatic non-stenotic carotid artery disease (SyNC), although further studies are needed to determine its role in this patient population.

Dongye Li et al.

Summary: Co-existing hypertension and hyperhomocysteinemia (H-Hcy) are associated with carotid vulnerable plaque features, and the combination of the two has a stronger predictive value for subsequent vascular events than each measurement alone.

Characteristics of non-stenotic carotid plaque in embolic stroke of undetermined source compared with cardiogenic embolism: a retrospective cross-sectional observational study

Lihao Zhang et al.

Summary: This study compares the clinical characteristics and correlation between non-stenotic carotid plaque and embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) and cardioembolic stroke (CE). The results show a higher prevalence of ipsilateral vulnerable non-stenotic carotid plaque in ESUS patients compared to CE patients. The prevalence of non-stenotic carotid plaque and non-stenotic carotid plaque with low echo are independent predictors of ESUS.

Identification Markers of Carotid Vulnerable Plaques: An Update

Yilin Wang et al.

Summary: Vulnerable plaques are a hot topic in the field of stroke and carotid atherosclerosis. Risk stratification and intervention for carotid plaques are currently guided by the degree of luminal stenosis. However, it has been recognized that the vulnerability of plaques may contribute to the risk of stroke. This review summarizes the identification of vulnerable plaques at both macroscopic and microscopic levels.

Features of non-stenotic carotid plaque on computed tomographic angiography in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source

Danling Guo et al.

Summary: Non-stenotic carotid plaques may be a cause of acute ischemic strokes classified as ESUS, and the presence of a lipid core in the plaque is a risk factor for individuals with non-stenotic carotid plaques.

Colchicine for prevention of vascular inflammation in Non-CardioEmbolic stroke (CONVINCE) - study protocol for a randomised controlled trial

Peter Kelly et al.

Summary: CONVINCE is a multi-center international Phase 3 clinical trial investigating the effect of low-dose colchicine on recurrent vascular events in patients with non-severe, non-cardioembolic stroke and TIA. The study will provide high-quality randomized data assessing the efficacy and safety of colchicine anti-inflammatory therapy for secondary prevention after stroke.

Hediyeh Baradaran et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the reporting of carotid plaque features on neck CTAs at an academic institution, finding that while nearly all reports mentioned the degree of luminal stenosis, only a minority mentioned specific plaque features. There is a lack of comprehensive reporting on plaque features despite their importance in stroke risk assessment.

Nonstenotic Carotid Plaques in Ischemic Stroke: Analysis of the STRATIS Registry

N. Singh et al.

Summary: The study used CTA to assess nonstenotic carotid plaques in patients with cardioembolic and cryptogenic strokes, finding a significant association between these plaques and ipsilateral strokes. In the cryptogenic stroke subgroup, plaque irregularity and hypodense plaque were also associated with ipsilateral stroke, suggesting a potential causative role of these plaques in certain stroke subgroups.

Non-stenotic Carotid Plaques in Embolic Stroke of Unknown Source

Joseph Kamtchum-Tatuene et al.

Summary: There is evidence supporting a potential causal relationship between ESUS and non-stenotic carotid plaques. However, the coexistence of other potential etiologies of stroke, such as atrial fibrillation and intracranial atherosclerosis, makes it challenging to confirm the causal link between non-stenotic plaques and ESUS. Ongoing studies are exploring the use of select protein and RNA biomarkers to facilitate the reclassification of some ESUS cases and optimize secondary prevention strategies.
