Why the study?

Does the histological pathology of symptomatic carotid plaques differ based on the nature and timing of ischemic symptoms (TIA vs stroke)?

Population

526 symptomatic carotid plaques

Design

Cross-sectional

Implication

May warrant symptom-specific carotid plaque evaluation after TIA; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Structured PICO

Does the histological pathology of symptomatic carotid plaques differ based on the nature and timing of ischemic symptoms (TIA vs stroke)?

Population

526 symptomatic carotid plaques

Outcome

Histological assessment of plaque pathology (macrophage infiltration and plaque instability) in relation to the nature and timing of ischemic symptomssurrogate

The underlying pathology of symptomatic carotid plaques may differ between TIA and stroke, with inflammation persisting longer after TIA.
