Is the volume and age of carotid artery intraplaque hemorrhage associated with minor fibrous cap disruption?
The volume of fresh intraplaque hemorrhage is independently associated with minor fibrous cap disruption, suggesting that fibrous cap integrity changes with the age and size of the hemorrhage.
The volume of fresh IPH is independently associated with MFCD in carotid plaques, suggesting that integrity of fibrous cap may change with different age and size of IPH.
