Relationship between fibroblast growth factor in plasma and carotid plaque neovascularization: a pilot study

Relationship between fibroblast growth factor in plasma and carotid plaque neovascularization: a pilot study

BackgroundUnstable atherosclerotic carotid plaques with intraplaque neovascularization (IPN) carry a substantial risk for ischemic stroke. Conventional ultrasound methods fall short in detecting IPN, where superb microvascular imaging (SMI) has emerged as a promising tool for both visualizing and qu...
