Late Stage Complicated Atheroma in Low-Grade Stenotic Carotid Disease: MR Imaging Depiction—Prevalence and Risk Factors

Abstract

Complicated carotid atheroma can be found among symptomatic patients with low-grade (≤50%) stenosis, and this is associated with male sex and increasing age. MR-depicted IPH may be useful to stratify risk for patients with low-grade carotid stenosis.
