[Importance of morphologic evaluation of carotid lesions in their correlation with cerebral ischemic pathology].
Authors present a review of 182 atheromatous plaques into the extracranial carotid trunks. Diagnosis of such pathologies were made by Eco-Doppler on 615 patients. Objective was to determinate the emboligen potential of the plaques following structural and functional criteria. Almost all the symptomatic plaques with functional disturbances showed some structural injury with emboligen potential. Two third parts of all the symptomatic diseases hemodynamically no-significant were associated with plaques with emboligen power. On stenosis higher than 70%, functional criterium was more important for study than structural criterium.
