Synopsis
It has been shown that about 30%-70% of the patients underwent carotid artery stenting (CAS) suffered from perioperative hemodynamic instability (HI) characterized by transient hypotension and bradycardia. This study investigated the association between vulnerable plaque characteristics on MR vessel wall imaging and HI during CAS. We found that patients in HI group had significantly larger wall area and total vessel area, higher prevalence of intraplaque hemorrhage and vulnerable plaque, and larger volume of lipid-rich necrotic core (LRNC) of carotid plaque compared to those in non-HI group. The volume of LRNC and presence of vulnerable plaque could effectively predict HI.
