Abstract
The early depiction of adventitial vasa vasorum in FS videoangiography was inversely associated with the BB-SIR values of the plaques, along with many microvessels and macrophages that have been reported to have a tendency of intraplaque hemorrhage or symptoms. The present results may support the idea of an intimal origin of the neovascularization in vulnerable carotid plaques, and they demonstrated the potential of intraoperative plaque imaging by FS videoangiography.
