Evaluation of the Carotid Plaque Stability by Ultrafast-ultrasound Imaging (UF)

NCT03234257 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 69

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Unstable plaques are characterized by lower segmental stiffness and intimal neovascularization compared to stable plaques. Our objective is to determine the capacity of the elastographic parameters obtained by the UF to discriminate the unstable to the stable plaques. We hope to improve the stroke prediction in asymptomatic patients with carotid stenosis.

Conditions

  • Carotid Stenosis

Interventions

DEVICE

UF-ultrasound

the carotid plaque stability by UF in order to improve the stroke prediction in case of asymptomatic stenosis. A UF-ultrasound approach is a non-irradiating, easily accessible, and low cost technique
