超声评价颈动脉易损斑块各病理特征的研究进展

Progress in Ultrasonic Evaluation of Pathological Features of Vulnerable Carotid Plaque

颈动脉易损斑块与脑卒中联系密切,是缺血性脑卒中发病机制中的一个重要部分,因此,颈动脉斑块易损性的评估,对脑卒中患者的诊断、治疗和预后有重要意义。超声具有无创、便捷及准确等诸多优点,并且随着相关技术的不断发展,不仅可以评估颈动脉狭窄程度及斑块的基本特征,而且能够识别易损斑块的不同病理特征。本文就超声对易损斑块各病理特征评估的最新进展进行综述。

Carotid vulnerable plaque is closely related to stroke and is an important part of the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke. The evaluation of carotid plaque vulnerability is of great significance for the di-agnosis, treatment and prognosis of stroke patients. Ultrasound has many advantages, such as non-invasive, convenient and accurate, and with the continuous development of related technology, it can not only evaluate the degree of carotid stenosis and the basic characteristics of plaque, but also find the early characteristics of vulnerable plaque. This article reviews the latest progress of ultrasound in the evaluation of pathological features of vulnerable plaques.
