Why the study?

Are high-risk carotid plaque features on MRI associated with subsequent cerebrovascular events in patients with asymptomatic 50% to 79% carotid stenosis?

Population

Patients with asymptomatic 50% to 79% carotid stenosis

Design

Cohort

Discussion

Member takes

Implication

MRI high-risk features may aid risk stratification in asymptomatic moderate stenosis; leaves open whether they should guide intervention.

Structured PICO

Are high-risk carotid plaque features on MRI associated with subsequent cerebrovascular events in patients with asymptomatic 50% to 79% carotid stenosis?

Population

Patients with asymptomatic 50% to 79% carotid stenosis

Intervention

Presence of high-risk plaque features on MRI (thinned or ruptured fibrous caps, intraplaque hemorrhage, larger maximum %lipid-rich/necrotic cores, and larger maximum wall thickness)

Outcome

Occurrence of subsequent cerebrovascular eventshard clinical

MRI-detected high-risk plaque features in asymptomatic moderate carotid stenosis are associated with future ischemic cerebrovascular events.
