Platelet Scintigraphy of the Carotid Arteries: Comparison with the Histology of Thromboendarterectomy Specimens

摘要: As early as 1854 Virchow described arteriosclerosis the consequence of an abnormal interaction circulating blood elements and arterial wall. Although our knowledge pathogenesis has since increased, it still remains to be seen what basic mechanisms, well role platelets in formation atherosclerotic lesions, are. It is accepted fact that adhere interact with subendothelial connective tissue thus promoting plaques mural thrombi [18]. The positive correlation between lesions extracranial carotid arteries incidence cerebral ischemia known [11].
