18F FDG and 68Ga FAPI PET/MR Imaging of Carotid Artery Plaque Vulnerability: A Clinical Study in Carotid Artery Plaque Patients
Carotid atherosclerotic plaque rupture is the main cause of ischemic stroke attacks, and early and precise assessment of plaque vulnerability can prevent ischemic stroke. High-resolution MRI can reflect vulnerable plaque features such as thin fibrous caps and large lipid cores, but cannot assess their metabolic information; Fibro-activated proteins (FAPs) of …
Efficacy and Prognosis of Surgical Intervention in Patients With Carotid Artery Stenosis
This study is a prospective, single center cohort study. By combining pathological examination of carotid atherosclerotic plaque with preoperative imaging examination, we explore the imaging characteristics of high-risk carotid plaque, and explore the effectiveness and safety of different surgical methods (CAS and CEA) for high-risk plaque patients with carotid stenosis.
RAre, But Not aLone: a Large Italian Network to Empower the Impervious diaGNostic Pathway of Rare cerEbrovascular Diseases (ALIGNED)
Cerebrovascular diseases (CVDs) are one leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite intensive investigations, more than 30% of strokes remain of undetermined origin. Rare Cerebrovascular Diseases (rCVDs), including heritable (i.e., CADASIL, COL4A1 syndrome, Fabry disease) and acquired conditions (i.e., Sneddon syndrome, Moyamoya arteriopathy) account for a proportion of these …
The Evolution and Prognosis of Moyamoya Disease
To investigate the evolution of imaging appearances and cognitive function of Moyamoya disease (MMD) and to establish a prognosis evaluation system based on imaging biomarkers in MMD. The study may be helpful to optimize and improve the diagnosis and pretreatment assessment of MMD, and provide an important theoretical supplement to …
TRAnscranial Doppler CErebral Blood Flow and Cognitive IMPAIRment in Heart Failure
TRACE-IMPAIR is a prospective, clinical study of consecutive patients that evaluates the relationship between heart failure (HF) and cognitive impairment in relation to carotid and cerebral flow. The carotid and cerebral flow will be assessed using Doppler ultrasonography, and cognitive function will be estimated during routine neuropsychological tests. It is …
Detection of Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Neurosurgery Patients (DT-MiNi)
Plastic particles are a ubiquitous pollutant in the living environment and food chain, so far, plenty of studies have reported the internal exposure of microplastics and nanoplastics in human tissues and enclosed body fluids. Neurosurgery is the only department that can open the skull. In addition to blood and cerebrospinal …
Simultaneous Cardiac Surgery and Micronet-covered Stent Carotid Revascularization in High Perioperative Stroke Risk Patients
Prospective, single-center, clinical registry of patients with symptomatic/critical carotid artery stenosis at risk of stroke coexisting with unstable or multivessel severe coronary artery disease and/or severe valvular heart disease undergoing endovascular treatment of carotid atherosclerosis using a mesh stent in combination with cardiac surgery (coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and/or …
Change of Hemodynamics and Cerebral Functions After Carotid Artery Revascularization
The majority (>80%) of strokes are of ischemic etiology, of which ≈15% to 20% are attributable to atherosclerosis of the extracranial carotid arteries. The primary goal in carotid artery revascularization is to prevent stroke in patients with carotid artery stenosis. Treatment options including carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting …
Types of Intracellular Bacteria in Atherosclerotic Plaques and Analysis of Risk Factors
The goal of this iBacAP study is to identify the types of carotid plaques containing intracellular bacteria in patients with atherosclerosis and to look for associated risk factors. The main questions it aims to answer are the type and distribution of intracellular bacteria in patients' plaques, and whether patients with …
