| Abstract | OBJECT: Preoperative clinical risk classification of carotid artery (CA) stenosis anticipates the outcome of CA intervention. A higher incidence of neurological morbidity was noted after CA stenting (CAS) in patients with medical risks than in those without risks. However, little is known about the correlation between clinical risks and plaque composition. The purpose of this study was to characterize the CA plaque histology in 3 groups of patients who were classified based on clinical risks for carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Furthermore, the authors examined whether the plaque with high embolic potential after CA intervention, particularly CAS, could be predicted based on clinical risks for CEA. METHODS: Patients were divided into 4 groups, according to the CEA risk classification system, and 3 groups with more than 10 cases were enrolled in this study as follows: absence of all angiographic, medical, and neurological risks (Grade I, 27 cases); presence of medical risk, but no neurological risk (Grade III, 31 cases); and presence of neurological risk (Grade IV, 17 cases). Histopathological characteristics of CA plaques, including fibrous cap thickness, plaque disruption, thrombus formation, intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH), and adipophilin expression were examined without information regarding clinical status. RESULTS: Plaques in patients in Grades III and IV demonstrated a thin fibrous cap and enhanced IPH, compared with those in Grade I. Plaques in patients in Grade IV showed more adipophilin-expressing macrophages in the fibrous cap than in those of the other groups. CONCLUSIONS: Plaques in Grades III and IV patients were characterized by thin fibrous cap atheroma with IPH. Adipophilin-positive macrophage infiltration in the fibrous cap might be correlated with instability in neurological status. The plaque morphology in patients with medical and neurological risks needs to be examined carefully with the aid of imaging modalities. In plaques demonstrating a thin fibrous cap and IPH, the CAS procedure should be avoided and CEA should be performed instead. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
