Abstract

Objective: Cerebral infarction (CI) is a prevalent and frequently occurring condition. However, the association between expansive remodeling in the carotid artery system and CI is still uncertain. This study aims to investigate the significance of the carotid artery system and aortic arch (AA) remodeling for the prevention and treatment of CI.

Methods: We collected data from 821 patients who underwent computed tomography angiography at our hospital, performed statistical analysis, and compared it with various clinical data.

Results: We found that the diameters and detection rates of the common carotid artery (CCA), internal carotid artery (ICA), carotid bifurcation, and AA were significantly greater in the CI group than in the without CI group (P<0.05). The number of carotid sinus plaque (CSP) and the length of aortic arch plaque (AAP) were considered to be 2 important factors in predicting CCA remodeling. Moreover, the thickness of AAP was considered to be an important factor in predicting AA remodeling.

Conclusions: Patients with CI exhibited a significant increase in the diameter of the carotid system and AA, which correlated with certain features of arterial plaque. Hence, early detection of arterial plaques, along with interventions to delay or potentially reverse expansive arterial remodeling, may be effective in preventing and treating CI.

期刊介绍： The Neurologist publishes articles on topics of current interest to physicians treating patients with neurological diseases. The core of the journal is review articles focusing on clinically relevant issues. The journal also publishes case reports or case series which review the literature and put observations in perspective, as well as letters to the editor. Special features include the popular "10 Most Commonly Asked Questions" and the "Patient and Family Fact Sheet," a handy tear-out page that can be copied to hand out to patients and their caregivers.
