Abstract excerpt
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide with 20% of ischemic strokes attributed to carotid atherosclerosis. In recent years, morphological characteristics of atherosclerotic plaque such as a thin fibrous cap, large lipid-rich necrotic core, intraplaque haemorrhage and ulceration have shown correlations with subsequent clinical events.
