Keywords: Stroke, Atherosclerosis, High-risk plaqueCarotid HRP is one of the major sources of ischemic stroke. Recent studies have focused on identifying characteristics of HRP which is defined as lesion with IPH, FCR, or LRNC. We compared the plaque characteristics of patients with bilateral carotid HRPs between patients with recurrent stroke and those without recurrent stroke using MR vessel wall imaging. We determined the association between HRP plaque features and recurrent stroke in patients with bilateral carotid HRPs. We found that those with larger plaque burden, more juxta luminal IPH and/or thrombus, and juxta luminal calcification in HRPs were more likely to have recurrent stroke.
