Key result
Age over 60 years was significantly correlated with the development and distribution of atherosclerotic plaques in the cerebral arteries, while no significant sex differences were observed.
Why the study?
Atherosclerotic plaques in brain-supplying arteries can lead to neurological impairment, and this study aimed to provide detailed demographic information related to their incidence in cerebral arteries.

Novel cadaveric data on cerebral plaque incidence; leaves open clinical correlation and prospective validation.
Observational (n=48)
Atherosclerotic plaque development in the Circle of Willis correlates significantly with age, particularly after 60 years, with the middle cerebral artery branches identified as novel predilection sites.
Llopis et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Atherosclerotic plaques in the cerebral arteries (n=48). Age vs. <60 years was evaluated on Development and location of atherosclerotic plaques. Age over 60 years was significantly correlated with the development and distribution of atherosclerotic plaques in the cerebral arteries, while no significant sex differences were observed.
