Abstract:
Asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis (aCAS) is one of the important causes of ischemic stroke. The imaging evaluation of carotid artery plaques is of great significance for selecting the best treatment in patients with aCAS. This article reviews the plaque composition, plaque morphology, and hemodynamic evaluation of aCAS, aiming to provide a basis for developing personalized medical strategies.
