Implication

Autopsy associations suggest shared atherogenesis; leaves open whether plaque traits predict clinical cerebrovascular events.

Key Points

The aim is to explore how atheroma characteristics in coronary arteries relate to obstructions in intracranial arteries.
Large autopsy study analyzing plaque size and composition
Assessment of atheroma characteristics in coronary and intracranial arteries
Correlation analysis between coronary and intracranial atherosclerosis
Identified significant associations between atheroma plaque characteristics and intracranial artery obstructions
Differences in plaque composition were noted between coronary and intracranial arteries
Length of atheroma was correlated with severity of obstruction in intracranial arteries
