Brief Summary:
First to establish a comparison of the pathophysiology of carotid atherosclerosis and the genetic and environmental variables that cause those plaques to become symptomatic Second to differentiate between vulnerable plaque and other types of plaque using ultrasound elastography MRI data trans-cranial doppler along with RF radio frequency analysis of back-scattered ultrasonic echoes
Detailed Description:
This is a multi-investigator study based on the pathophysiology of carotid atherosclerosis and the variables that cause certain plaques to become symptomaticPatients enrolled in this study will be those patients undergoing a carotid endarterectomy This will include both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients and there are a variety of atherosclerotic risk factors representing this patient populationPatients may or may not have had strokes or transient ischemic attacks TIAsPre-operatively patients will be reviewed for their medical history and atherosclerotic risk factors Plaque removed during routine carotid endarterectomy will be examined for study purposes
